Yes. If Mailman receives the 4xx status during SMTP, it will retry, but
Postgrey shouldn't be greylisting mail from localhost anyway.

Is the message held in Mailman? Check the admindb interface for the
list.

Also, check all Mailman's logs.

See

BTW, your OP indicated that Postfix was delivering via mailman service.
Are you using postfix-to-mailman2.1.py? Are you sure it's delivering
to Mailman?
