So you are using postfix_to_mailman.py. This is incompatible with
Mailman's MTA='Postfix'. If you want to use postfix_to_mailman.py, set
MTA=None in mm_cfg.py. Note MTA='Postfix' with quotes, MTA=None without
quotes.

Why is it rejected? What are the Postfix log entries for this message?
The output from 'postconf -n' may help us.

Which is not compatible with postfix_to_mailman.py.
