[Systers-dev] - Development Image

[kanika vats]

Hi Jen,
Nice idea,I have virtual box installed and I tried to make mailman work on
it today and was getting similar problems in sending mails to/from maiman
and the error log said something about localhost and postfix.Will try to
check on the problem tomorrow. Yes we can work on this together on
Sunday.Lets fix a time.
