This may be a clue.

This appears to be a postfix configuration problem that has nothing to
do with Mailman per se. However, my ignorant guess is that you have
entries for the same list name in both domains in your
'virtual-mailman' file and this is causing the confusion. At this
point, you may have to hand edit your 'aliases' and 'virtual-mailman'
files and run postalias and postmap.

Also, you don't say, and it has nothing to do with the problem, but if
you want the new mail domain for lists created prior to changing
mm_cfg.py, you need to manually change host_name on the General
Options page for those lists or run fix_url (run bin/fux_url.py for
instructions).
