There's probably an entry in the 'domains' table for the lists....
domain which needs to be removed.

Those are the same URL. I note however tahe there is a mailman
transport defined using postfix_to_mailman.py. Is this how you were
delivering to Mailman. Is ther (or was there before) an entry in
transport maps (possibly /etc/postfix/transport) mapping the lists...
domain to the mailman transport? Your current postconf -n shows no
entry for transport_maps

If in fact, you want to use postfix_to_mailman.py, adding

transport_maps = hash:/path/to/transport

making sure that transport contains an entry like

lists.mydomain.net   mailman:

and running

postmap /path/to/transport

may solve your porblem.

Ask the right question on the vPostMaster list.

I can't help with any vPostMaster specific configuration.
