It's fine to have the list domain in mydestination. It simplifies
things and the only reason not to is if it is a virtual domain for
non-Mailman reasons.

Then there are no lists with hostname 'list.infoservices.in' or you
didn'r run Mailman's bin/genaliases after adding

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['list.infoservices.in']


to mm_cfg.py. However, you now don't want or need that anyway.

This is a group mismatch error. Postfix is invoking the
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman wrapper with GID 65533 and the wrapper
is configured to expect GID 67.

First, the owner of the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db file should be
the Mailman user. Postfix will invoke the wrapper with user = the
owner of the file (the .db file) in which it found the alias and group
= that users primary group. This group must match what the wrapper is
compiled or otherwize configured to expect. See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> for more on group mismatch errors.
