[Mailman-Users] Tangential Delivery Question

I know this is probably tangential to the purpose of the list, but

people here have been very friendly and helpful in my quest to get 
mailman up and running on my Trustix system.

I was following the mail delivery logs and came across some odd errors 
that I'm hoping someone can help me decipher and  ultimately find a fix.

Or if someone has a suggestion where a better place to ask might be, I'd 
appreciate that as well.

This is what I'm seeing:

What does "comcast.net requires valid sender domain (in reply to RCPT TO 
command))" mean?

I assume that I've got something wrong in my configuration (Postfix, 
Spamassassin, Amavisd, Mailman) or in my DNS, but where should I start 
debugging?

Thanks,
David Hwang
