FWIW, it is much easier to run Mailman as a local domain, in mydestination. Simply add the Mailman aliases file to alias_database and alias_maps, and you are done. Mailman then handles its own list aliases through the web or command line interfaces. > The problem I have now is, for any undeliverable message, postfix > sends a mail to mailer-dae...@lists.mydomain.net instead of > mailer-dae...@mydomain.net.. so all undeliverable warning messages > end up as new posts to my mailing list! > > How can I change this? What? You made a list called "mailer-daemon"? Mailer-daemon is a reserved system alias. If you want help with your specific problem, you must post evidence thereof. Stan suggested the list welcome message for posting guidelines; see here if you don't have that message: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail Include complete, non-verbose logging of a single message which indicates the problem. You might also have to include the relevant excerpt of the Mailman aliases file. My WAG here is that you did not set relay_recipient_maps. > I want it to send to mydomain.net, not lists.mydomain.net > > Can I have any mailer-daemon type error sent to a custom address?

Example.TLD has been reserved in most gTLDs and many other TLDs as well. Per my suggestion above, this would be: mydestination = lists.example.net, lists.example.com, lists.example.za relay_domains = example.net, .example.com, example.za relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_rcpt You DO need relay_recipient_maps for relay_domains, else you could (or WILL) become a backscatter source.
