I did my setup by following the mailman/postfix docs, so right now my config has repeated entries for the virtual domain and the root domain, and while I don't see why I should need the root domain addresses, that's the way mailman seems to want to do it. To the OP: you could also use getmail or fetchmail to pull incoming mail via POP or IMAP and feed it to the relevant mailman programs, but you'll have to write your own script for setting up the relevant configuration for the various mailboxes (or do it by hand if you have a limited number of lists). I can't think of any way in which mailman accesses the system mail spool, it is all alias-piped-to-program driven. -- R. David Murray http://www.bitdance.com
