I'm still having problems with mailman and postfix.  I've been running
newaliases after every time I reload my postfix main.cf.  The mailman post
log indicates that a post was successful, however on inspection of the
maillog I see the following error...

(I think this is when mailman is tyring to send email to members of the
list.)

Dec  1 10:17:56 mailman_host postfix/smtp[16132]: 4C88060350:

<systems-bounces at mailman_host.domain.com>... Domain of sender address

>From various boxes I am able to do successful:
  host -t A mailman_host.domain.com
  host -t MX mailman_host.domain.com  
dig mailman_host.domain.com
  dig MX a mailman_host.domain.com

I am also able to mail as root to a standard email address.  The mailman
list server can successfully send out list reminders...

thanks, Matt
