The main server group above are wrong. They say that mail to (for
example) turningpoints at main.server should be piped to
/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman on the main server which probably
doesn't exist.

Thet should probably be

turningpoints:              turningpoints at secondary.server
turningpoints-admin:        turningpoints-admin at secondary.server

and so on for the other 8

If turningpoints at clientdomain.net works at all, you either have mailman
installed on that machine or the aliases on that machine are not what
you said.
