Magnus,

In previous replies to this thread (I apologize for not having done
from the beginning) I posted the logs excerpt and configurations of
postfix. Concerning the expected result: I would aspect postfix to
deliver messages to users who subscribed the mailing list, and accept
rely messages from users of the list to other members of the list.
None of these two expectations are satisfied at the moment.

I removed sendmail from the system, although I have it in the list of
daemons (/etc/init.d/sendmail), it is not active, since I have no
activity logs in /var/log/mail.*

Cheers.
Antonello
