I am attempting to set up a Mailman server for a local club and have run into a strange issue with Postfix and Mailman. I think the issue lies with Postfix.
So The issue is that I am able to send mail from local users via the mail command, however I am not receiving mails when trying to send them from mailman.
Here is an example from /var/log/maillog of an email that was sent and I WAS able to receive:
May 1 20:15:17 vps-1152677-20287 postfix/pickup[16784]: ED274AA901B1: uid=0 from=<root>

Here is an example of an email that was sent from mailman which I did NOT receive:
May 1 20:14:50 vps-1152677-20287 postfix/smtpd[16889]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]

Im guessing it has something to do with the connection from localhost, however I thought I had that covered in the postfix config.
Here is my main.cf for Postfix:
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myhostname = mail.akblacksmith.club
mydomain = akblacksmith.club
myorigin = akblacksmith.club
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mydestination = mail.akblacksmith.club, akblacksmith.club, localhost.akblacksmith.club, localhost, localhost.localdomain
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost =
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
recipient_delimiter = +
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
html_directory = no
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
Im not quite sure why postfix would send one message but not the other.
Thanks for the help
