Alls well that ends ...
I cured the problem, finally, by deleting all the aliases in my virtual domain setup, which I had created following one of the explanations in the README.POSTFIX file. Of course I was then running Mailman 2.0.13.
If anyone has a better checklist of things to do to setup "postfix virtual domains", please post here and possibly send it to roadstar@verbose.twistedhistory.com - the address I'll be checking for the next week while I'm out of town.

Incidentally, this message has not been bounced.
I have to get on a plane in a few hours, and would like not to leave the system in this state for the next week! Understand that one. I'd check the makemap version and postfix version for what DB (DBM) they are using. Somethings not matched right.
