Results:

=====
$ postmap -q mailman-postwhitetree.org hash:/etc/aliases
$ postmap -q mailman-post hash:/etc/aliases
"|formail -I\"X-Post: $EXTENSION\" |mail bignose"
$ postmap -q whitetree.org hash:/etc/aliases
$
=====

So presumably that means the 'mailman-post' alias *should* deliver to
an external command.

I should probably take it out, since it's also in my virtual maps
(which is how the default delivery address is found, I guess):

=====
$ postmap -q whitetree.org hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
bignosepolar.local
=====

That's a question for a different thread though, and none of the
aliases I'm trying are in the virtual domain table.

$

The regexp table is currently a null-op (all entries commented out) to
avoid complicating matters until I can get aliases to external
commands at all.

Thanks for helping me continue diagnosis. Further ideas appreciated.
