	Post the aliases you added for the test list to this list
and I'll take a peek at them for you. That 'catch-all' account may
very well be your problem though. By setting up any type of mail
handling in the Mailman account you may very well be circumventing
the functionality of mailman itself. Basically, you should not be
accepting email for the mailman account. If the aliases for mailman
are set up properly, there is no reason to enable any other nature
of mail handling for that account.

	Basically, when email arrives on the server it is checked
against the aliases and forwarded accordingly. Thus the mailman
alias powers the mailman account rather than the email setup for the
mailman user account.
