Running Ubuntu 16.04, mailman 2.1.24, postfix 3.1.0.

The server runs several domains. Postfix and virtual mailboxes are running well. After much wrestling I have mailman working with one list. I then imported a list, from the previous host, and used withlist to import it. I checked that the aliases were generated, reloaded postfix, and sent a test message, which generated an unknown user bounce.

This lead me to check by creating a new list and testing it. Same message.

The list address is translated to an @localhost, which I understand is normal, and the generated aliases include @localhost.

I'm not really sure how to move forward. Any thoughts?

Here's the output of postconf -n:

For anyone that finds this while searching answers, the ultimate answer was found by slamming my head against things until I died.

I'm a mess and I don't necessarily recall everything I did, but I'm going to try.

I decided to follow the postfix-to-mailman.py route, since the Ubuntu documentation leans heavily that way.

I removed mydestination from relay_domains. I think that was a leftover from something else, or older documentation that I followed at some point. I also removed local_recipient_maps to get rid of that warning. That's been there a while, but felt I'd mention it.

The critical points, I think, were twofold:

The removal of the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS line. Reading other things I suspected that this was only relevant when using postfix as the MTA, and that appears to be correct since (so far) it's working.

Second, removing the relay_recipient_maps line. Again, postfix isn't handling these messages, mailman is.

I think that's about the sum of it.
