Problem partially solved. The transport map was "*
smtp:smtp.linfield.edu" and so everything was immediately relayed to
that server and it, in turn,sent it right back. If I remove the
transport entry in main.cf, the mail gets delivered to mailman but when
mailman responds, postfix doesn't seem to know where to send it (the
next hop has to be smtp.linfield.edu).
What does the transport table need to look like to make this all happen
as it should?
Thank,

Hi,
I am hosting the mailman mailing list manager on a machine named
socrates.linfield.edu. Any mail addressed to <any
name>@mailman.linfield.edu is forwarded to this box by the two edge
servers. But, instead of accepting the mail, postfix is forwarding it
of to my primary internal smtp server which, in turn, sends it right
back.
Here are what I think are the pertinent parameters:
myhostname = socrates.linfield.edu
mydomain = linfield.edu
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, mailman.$mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases,hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
Is there some other parameter or parameters that I need to set?
Thanks,

Please don't top post.
I don't feel as if I fully understand your problem, but maybe
a transport_maps like this will help:
mailman.linfield.edu :
* smtp:smtp.linfield.edu
If that doesn't help, please see:
