Then I get the following in the maillog:

Jun  6 12:22:45 lists postfix/local[20474]: 711426FE2C: 
to=<curtistest at lists.siemensmedical.com>, relay=local, delay=1, 
status=bounced (Command died with status 1: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman 
post curtistest")

and I get back an undeliverable message.

Yes.

Not sure what to do with this code snippet.  If you have any further advice 
based on the "Command died with status 1" I receive when setting the 
aliases.db perms to root:mailman, please let me know.  Otherwise, I will 
post this to the Postfix list to see what they have to say.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
