okay that makes sense and been trying to get this to work.  

after I make the appropriate entries to the virtualusers tables.  sendmail is
not able to execute the mailman delivery program.  

entry in /etc/mail/virtualusers

test2 at domain1.com              "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test2"

--- snip ---




and here is the error message

Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 <test2 at domain1.com>... Cannot mail directly to
programs
