[Mailman-Users] mailman not respecting /etc/postfix/transport ???

[Steve Wehr]

I am picking up this old thread that I never solved. Sorry for the delay.

Well... There are several other PHP programs on my server that also send
email to steve at tunedinweb.com, and those all work fine -- the
/etc/postfix/transport file is respected and the mail routed off-platform.
Only the mail sent by Mailman is being rejected with postfix errors I
included below.

What information could I provide to help figure out why?

Well, yes and no. Something is causing the mail from Mailman lists to be
rejected by Postfix for "User unknown in local recipient table" before
transport_maps is consulted for this user.

This almost certainly is not a Mailman thing. I suspect the issue is because
the mail arrives from localhost[127.0.0.1], not because it's from Mailman.

What do you have for Postfix mynetworks and smtpd_recipient_restrictions?
(The output from 'postconf -n' might be
useful.)
