	As far as this goes, that should work.

	Sounds like the mail server hasn't been configured to know about 
all the aliases, etc... for the mailing list.

	When you run a split application/mail server installation like 
this, you need to remember to copy all the aliases that are created 
when you create a mailing list and then modify them as necessary when 
you put them into place on the mail server.
