Hello everyone.

Im new to mailman, but so far, I seem to be having good luck with my setup.
Im running postfix-2.0.15 on my mail server. (Followed the directions on 
setting up mailman with postfix)
Also running Mailman-2.1.2.
Procmail-3.22.
Running IMAP on this server as well (Courier-IMAP)

I've setup a few lists that I am in the process of testing.
Here is a snip from my maillog when I send the email to the list:

Oct  1 12:56:07 corpmail postfix/smtpd[15297]: connect from 
jwilliams[192.168.1.90]
Oct  1 12:56:07 corpmail postfix/smtpd[15297]: 14B48AB543:

(maildir)
Oct  1 12:56:07 corpmail postfix/smtpd[15297]: disconnect from

Oct  1 12:56:09 corpmail postfix/smtpd[15297]: disconnect from 
corpmail[127.0.0.1]
Oct  1 12:56:09 corpmail postfix/local[15301]: 49375AB543: 
to=<jwilliams at courtesymtg.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent 
("|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrc")
Oct  1 12:56:09 corpmail postfix/local[15301]: 49375AB543: 
to=<mastleford at courtesymtg.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent 
("|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrc")

Just a few questions im not clear about.

First:
Oct  1 12:56:07 corpmail postfix/local[15301]: 14B48AB543: 
to=<loan_processors at courtesymtg.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent 
(maildir)

On this entry, is it delivering mail to a user called loan_processors? I 
dont have a user called loan_processors...is this correct? Did I miss 
something?

Second:
Oct  1 12:56:09 corpmail postfix/qmgr[14919]: 49375AB543: 
from=<loan_processors-bounces at courtesymtg.com>, size=1833, nrcpt=2 (queue 
active)

I dont understand this line: What is the purpose of the 
from=<loan_processors-bounce entry?

It seems to me that it worked correctly, but im just trying to make sure my 
list is working correctly, i understand it and that I dont have anything 
misconfigured.

Anyone care to help me out and clarify a few things?
I would be very greatful for any insight and recommendations.

Cheers

Jason
