You can try running bin/genaliases which should rebuild the aliases and
virtual-mailman files.
The fact that the list entries are missing from virtual-mailman may be
another manifestation of the same underlying problem, but I don't
think it is the cause per se as the posts are getting through the MTA
(Postfix?) and getting discarded by Mailman. If the missing
virtual-mailman entries were the problem, the posts would be rejected
by Postfix or misdelivered.
You could check your Postfix log to verify that the post is ultimately
piped to "|path/to/mail/mailman post listname".
