Hi again,
	Someone else may correct me here, but that last line of the 
log looks to me like Postfix has delivered the mail to the piped 
mailman command - if the mail is not showing up from there, it would 
indicate that either:

a: Mailman is broken

or

b: Mailman is configured incorrectly.

	Our Mailman installation has a separate aliases file for 
Mailman, which I think is the normal Mailman setup when used with 
Postfix. Maybe post something to the Mailman list for assistance from 
there.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
