Postfix already handles mail for multiple virtual domains defined in a MySQL database. I believe virtual domain setup is OK, as individual users have been sending and receiving mail for some time.
Having problems with Mailman, though. I've read these instructions many times:
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html
Besides doing what's listed there, I also defined a virtual mailbox for a new "pctest" list (without that, mail sent to pctest@virt1.tld bounces).
However, MM never distributes the mail to list subscribers. /var/log/maillog says each message is sent to pctest@virt1.tld; however, the only files in /usr/local/mailman/logs that change are smtp and subscribe (and then only when list members are added).
so it sounds like you have postfix aliases set up for "pctest-*", but not "pctest" itself? is that right?
Basically, postfix delivers message to pctest@virt1.tld but nothing happens after that.
i don't use mysql, but my epiphany was when i realized i needed two separate mappings to be in place to get postfix and mailman working together. you need the virtual domain map (which i believe you have) and you need the map that takes the result of the virtual domain map, and turns it into a "real" destination.
