Hi,
I really have a very strange problem. I must have messed up somewhere.
When I create mailling lists named "support@example.com" and "sales@example.com", local users like user1@example.com and user2@example.com cannot receive the emails. Where else external emails like user@external.com receives the email.
Then I created another mailing list called "another@example.com", for this local and external emails accounts receive the emails.
It looks like, the name "support" and "sales" has something wrong on my system. I am really lost now. I do not know where to even start looking for the fault.
There are no email accounts with the name support@example.com or sales@example.com on the server.
The server is CentOS 6.3 64bit. Smtp is postfix with dovecot.
Mailman version 2.1.12.
Really need some advice. Please share a solution or suggest where to look for possible setting error.

Check your mail log (/var/log/maillog) for messages from Postfix and Dovecot about the (non-)delivery of these messages to the local users. There should be some log message that will give a clue.

Don't look for errors. Look for any messages relating to the addresses that don't receive the mail .

The problem was that there was some alias for support and sales in the /etc/alias file. Commented them out and run newaliases. And all is working great now.

All outbound mail from Mailman goes through your MTA - Postfix in your case. What do the Postfix logs report about the mail to the support and/or sales mailboxes? Check the Postfix configuration to see what alias files Postfix is reading. Maybe you have an "unknown" alias file that routes support and sales somewhere else? And check that "postalias" has been run on all of the alias files. --Barry Finkel

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for the advice.
This solved the problem.
Checked the file /etc/aliases and there was an alias for sales and support going to postmaster. Commented them out and run the command newaliases. All is working great now!
Once again thank you all in the list for replying and advising.
