Have you started Mailman (bin/mailmanctl start)?

The above log entry says the mail was successfully delivered to the
mail wrapper, and in the absence of an error reported back to postfix,
was placed in Mailman's qfiles/in queue. Is it still there? Is there
anything in Mailman's error or other logs?
