Did you see my reply at

to your last post?

At least Postfix is listening...

Your aliases are wrong. When you edited your 'mailman' aliases that
looked like

mailman: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
etc,

you replaced too many 'mailman occurrences. You changed the above into

testing_b: "|/usr/local/testing_b/mail/testing_b post testing_b"

instead of

testing_b: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testing_b"

Fix your aliases.

Then if you get 'group mismatch errors', see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp>.

Also, see <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html> for the way
to integrate Mailman with Postfix so you don't need to do aliases manually.
