postfix_to_mailman.py is user contributed software which is
'officially' not supported by the GNU Mailman project. Why are you
using it? If you are using it because that's the way your
Debian/Ubuntu/other package installed Mailman, you should be talking
to Debian/Ubuntu/other.

Also, there are Postfix lists for Postfix support. See
<http://www.postfix.org/lists.html>.

This is not going to make any difference to
Postfix/postfix_to_mailman.py.

Whether or not it's used depends on what you've put in Postfix's
main.cf.


My best guess in the dark here is you have MTA='Postfix' in mm_cfg.py
so Mailman is generating list aliases in it's data/aliases file and
you are referencing that file in alias_maps in Postfix main.cf. And,
delivery from local senders is working because it is using these
aliases, not postfix_to_mailman.py.

Then, something is not configured correctly for postfix_to_mailman so
it isn't working, and that's why mail from outside to your (virtual)
lists domain isn't working.

See the documentation at the beginning of the postfix_to_mailman.py
script on how to configure Postfix, or do as Andrew suggests in his
reply and set up the recommended Mailman/Postfix integration and don't
use postfix_to_mailman.py.

And if you wan't further help here or from postfix lists, post the
output from postconf -n and your master.cf changes.
