This is a postfix MTA error, as such it is not a mailman error, as such you should direct your research towards postfix (www.postfix.org) not mailman. However, that being said I'll try to explain what is going on and I hope that will point you in the right direction. At the core of the problem is that postfix does not know about your mailman aliases. There is documentation in the mailman installation guide on configuring mailman and postfix (http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html), start by reading that. Next postfix has an option to reject mail for local users which are not known to postfix, that is what is getting triggered here, so read this postfix documentation (http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html). Finally, it appears you have virtual addressing enabled for postfix, I'm not sure why you need this, its seems like an unnecessary complication for your set up. The mailman postfix integration guide how to configure this, but like I said, I don't see why you need this, or at least you haven't indicated why you need to map a non-existant domain. The postfix site has good documentation on virtual domains (http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html), reading that might shed some light.
