Any idea how to configure Postfix
to 550 a particular address?

One can configure Sendmail
by saying in file /etc/mail/virtusertable
whoever at whatever.net       error:nouser User unknown.  Spammer scum rot in prison.
so any incoming smtp traffic to that address gets
553 5.3.0 <whoever at whatever.net>... User unknown.Spammer scum rot in prison.
but that did not work in Postfix.

		Peace

PS: Thanks for working out the real solution.
I probably looked at that but know not what I saw.

Ok, i just woke up (actually a couple of days ago) and smelled the  
bits wafting through the air. The problem with why  
graceandmartina.org email lists not working at the domain is that we  
are using POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in Mailman. When you add a  
new virtual domain to our server, you have to add it to  
"virtusertable" in postfix configuration AND to mm_cfg.py for mailman  
config as such:

	POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [
	'<other virtual domain>',
	'graceandmartina.org'
	]

Just added it. Then ran 'genaliases' in Mailman/bin to regen the  
alias files for postfix to pick up. Then edited postfix  
'virtusertable' to take out the timely but now unneeded hand edited  
alaises that Devon had helped with.
