You candelete your own text from the attached returned message.                   The mail system<testing-join at test.com>: test.comI have not created user testing-join at test.com on my system, presuming it should be an alias.Please advice what wrong is going on ?Regards,Punit


I don't know what broken MUA produced the above garbage, but when
posting to a mail list you should make an effort to post a readable
text/plain message.

In the mess above I see (replacing   with space)

testing-join:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join testing"

so it looks like you have the alias. Perhaps you are not properly
referencing the aliases in Postfix. See section 6.1.1 of the
installation manual <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>.
