I used the Mailman backport and now get the slightly less cryptic:

/var/log/mailman/smtp:
  Apr 21 16:35:45 2004 (2892) delivery to harley_pebley@idahotech.com 
failed with
  code -1: icheep in local_domains? yes (matched reepicheep)

It appears Mailman is trying to use a partial part (icheep) of the host name
(reepicheep) in its delivery attempts.

Any ideas why or how to fix?

Thanks,
