I'm not a Postfix expert, but I can guess what is happening. I'm
guessing that when Postfix sees the address testlist5, it assumes that
this is testlist5@$myorigin (see
<http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myorigin>), but in your case,
$myorigin is not a local domain so it doesn't work.

You could try changing the mm_cfg.py entry to

VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN = 'localhost'

and then rerunning /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases

I now think that will work too and is more generic and thus is more
likely to survive future changes to your Postfix configuration.
