For the benefit of the Rest of the Class, here’s what finally got this working:

In Server Admin/Mail, I went to Settings->Advanced->Hosting, and added ‘server.domain2.org’ to the list of “Local Host Aliases”.

It feels like more of a work-around than an elegant solution, but at least group-addressed emails are now going to their intended destinations.

Thanks to all who replied.

In the /etc/postfix/alias file, the part where it says “DO NOT MANUALLY EDIT THIS SECTION” and “This section is automatically generated”….. well, some time during the night it got automatically generated back to the wrong addresses.

Where does it get the information from which to “automatically generate” the section. I’d like to fix that parameter once and for all, so that the automatically generated info stays right.

All right, this morning mail sent to a group address ended up going to each user in the group, but the mail was addressed as [email protected]… not good.

I don’t know what took me there (maybe a reference in some other discussion thread), but I looked at /etc/postfix/aliases, and found the list of user email addresses for each group on the server. Every address was [email protected]. A little find/replace action in text edit changes all those addresses to [email protected].

Of course, the area that I edited was sternly labelled “DO NOT MANUALLY EDIT THIS SECTION”. If I can’t manually edit that section, than how DO I edit that section?

So sending group emails seems to be working now, but in a very unelegant and un-mac-like way… I have no guarantee at this point that things aren’t going to break again later.

If anybody can fill me in on what I SHOULD have done, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
