Which indicates Postfix is not seeing that mail to lists.my.dom is
using the mailman transport.

Have you added hash:/etc/mailman/transport to transport_maps in
main.cf? have you run "postmap /etc/mailman/transport" to update
/etc/mailman/transport.db?

Those have no effect on postfix_to_mailman.py delivery. You should have
MTA = None.

<side rant>
postfix_to_mailman.py is a third party module officially unsupported by
the GNU Mailman project. Maybe if everyone who had problems making
their Debian/Ubuntu installation work with postfix_to_mailman.py went
to Debian for support instead of coming here, Debian wold fix the
package or improve the documentation or whatever is necessary to avoid
these problems.
