On closer inspection, Those aren't the appropriate questions. It
appears the problem may be in Postfix.

It looks like epicfail at linuslive.com is being mapped to
epicfail at mikesoh.com by virtual_alias_maps, but mikesoh.com is in turn
a virtual domain (i.e. in virtual_alias_domains).

It looks like mydomain is set to mikesoh.com because it defaults
myhostname with the first component removed. You either want to set
mydomain explicitly to some domain in mydestination or if your Mailman
is recent enought to support it, set

VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN = 'localhost'

in mm_cfg.py and run Mailman's bin/genaliases to rebuild
virtual-mailman.
