OK, I tried much of the suggestions given before and I made progress!
When I actually send a message to the list I get this:

Notice that instead of piping to the mailman service I get this "unable to create lockfile" problem.
Shouldn't postfix actually pipe to the program mailman?
The basic issue is you are delivering via relay=virtual rather than relay=local. Only the local LDA knows how to pipe to a command. The virtual LDA is trying to deliver to the mailbox named "|/usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman post allstudents" which clearly doesn't work.
I think the problem is students.wesleyseminary.edu is a virtual_mailbox_domain whereas it needs to be a virtual_alias_domain.
