Your aliases are fine. In the second case, Postfix does not know hoy to
teliver to the list so it returns the mail to you only with the 550
status.

When you have Postfix correctly configured as in the first case, the
aliases work. If they didn't, the message wouldn't be archived. See
<http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9> for the probable reason why you don't
receive your own posts.

If you have really verified that you don't receive posts sent by other
list members and/or other list members don't receive posts sent by
you, see <http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9>.
