Mailman3 postfix reading-group local delivery current patch

You are setting up a local Mailman3 mailing list server for reading-group@local.edu with Postfix delivery inside the Terminal-Bench mailman container.

Debugging signal. Mailman and Postfix are installed, but the list does not work until Mailman is configured at /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg and Postfix routes the local.edu aliases into Mailman correctly.

mailman3 mailman.cfg postfix main.cf master.cf reading-group local.edu join leave aliases

Join, leave, and posting messages should flow through reading-group-join@local.edu, reading-group-leave@local.edu, and reading-group@local.edu, with user mailboxes written under /var/mail/<username>.

Current checkout patch

Write the Mailman3 config, create the reading-group list with open subscription policy, wire Postfix transport and aliases to Mailman, and run the provided evaluator from /app.

Why this note is specific to this task

The command above is tied to the Terminal-Bench task mailman and to the failure pattern described here. General project documentation is still useful background, but it usually does not keep the benchmark path, old dependency version, and final validation command in one place.
