Yes. This is the part that was missing. I was trying with alias_maps or
virtual_alias_maps but not both. MM needs both in this setup.

One final problem is that I got the 'Mailman expected the mail wrapper
script to be executed as group "nobody"' error because MM for postfix
installs with GID mailman.

My hack was to uninstall, change the GID to 'nobody' in the FreeBSD
ports Makefile, and reinstall. This may have security implications but
I'm not sure about that.

Doing all of 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 is something I'll propose adding to 6.1.2.
At one stage I did have alias_maps but took it out because it's not
given in 6.1.2.

Thanks all for your help in getting this set up.

It will take me a day or two to write up suggested changes to 6.1.2,
which I'll post to the list.

thanks again
