Hi David!

Thanks for the feedback and information!

Yes, you are correct: you do need to have the domain aliaseses added
to both Postini and the Google Apps dashboard.  The domain lists are
tracked separately, and mail to that alias will fail if either is
removed.

(The reason is that each system checks to see if the domain is listed
among the domain aliases, so that it won't accept mail to domains that
haven't been added.)

Hope this helps.
