Did this post go through mailman? What are the full headers? Is ther an
"X-BeenThere: mailman@<my.domain>com" header and or other mailman
headers?

Do you have a separate Postfix alias (in /etc/aliases perhaps) the
delivers mail sent to 'mailman' to you directly.

Also, check maillog to see where this mail to mailman@<my.domain>com
was delivered and if it was resent from Mailman. The latter can also
be determined from Mailman's logs.

I think it's an MTA/alias issue. If I'm right, reinstalling won't
change it.
