If you have further problems with this configuration, you might get
better help following up with Zimbra rather than here.

The above Postfix log from milis shows that this postfix does not know
how to deliver the mail addressed to tesmilis at surat.my.domain to
Mailman and instead is just relaying it back to the MX (mx2.my.domain)
for the surat.my.domain domain which presumably sends it back to
milis, thus the loop.

Have you installed aliases and perhaps virtual maps for the
tesmilis*@surat.my.domain addresses in Postfix on milis?

Did you do the step

-------------------------
Edit and update /etc/aliases as directed by the output of the 'newlist'
command. Run

$ /usr/bin/newaliases

to update the aliases table to include the mailing list addresses. 
-------------------------

in section 3 of the above wiki?

If so, the issue is probably that milis does not consider
surat.my.domain to ba a local domain. You either need to add it to
mydestination in Postfix's main.cf on milis, or you need
virtual_alias_maps for the list addresses.
