You are very likely right

Sending failed:
Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the 
server:
spuhlerfam at btspuhler.com (The server responded: "<spuhlerfam at btspuhler.com>: 
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table")
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem 
(e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
The following transport protocol was used:
Kolab Server

No but I don't know how to solve it. I am probably missing something in the 
postfix configuration. How does postfix get to know the mailman mailing 
lists? where does it get the mailing list address.

My mm_cfg.py has this:
###############################################
# Here's where we get the distributed defaults.

from Defaults import *

##################################################
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'btspuhler.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.btspuhler.com'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
MTA = 'Postfix'

all I added in main.cf is this, the hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
as

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
