[Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains

[Scott Race]

Sorry bout that...yes, RHLE server.

/etc/postfix/main.cf has the following (in reference to the questions
below):


virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/mydomains
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases


With your direction, realizing I likely needed a reference to this
virtual-mailman file in my virtual_alias_maps, I added it, and my test
post went through!

Not sure if I need the reference to virtual-mailman in my alias_maps
too, didn't think so, and so I didn't add it.

Thanks a TON for the help!

I don't recall your telling us that this was a RedHat package. These
things make a difference.


  It has the following entries:

That's good.

That's probably not a problem.

Does your main.cf virtual_alias_maps point to
/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman where it is or does it point somewhere
else. How about alias_maps?
