Hi all,

Thanks for the replies so far.

Yes, I agree.. but I'm not sure how to add a mail alias to my domain  
if not through the admin console.

I have root access, so it should be possible, I just don't know how.

It sounds, from what you are saying, that I shouldn't need to set the  
aliases up manually via the management console if Postfix is  
correctly integrated. I looked through the Mailman manual, at the bit  
which says Postfix Integration, but to be honest, it was all greek to  
me.

Anyone care to help me through it?


Many thanks,
