[Mailman-Users] Mailman & Postfix error - postalias

[Scott Coats]

Hello,

I received the follow error while trying to create a list on my server. I
am running Postfix as my MTA and trying to set Mailman to work with
Postfix without using virtual domains.  It seems to work fine...but when
you create a *new* list this error is generated:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cut ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
