Sounds like you have a problem with your NIC...

citing some IP address which is invalid for my system.  I have not
been able to get anywhere since Wednesday night and am now
considering uninstalling Postfix and then reinstalling.

What have you done to try to remedy the situation? I am on the postfix list, and have not seen a single message from you about the problem. They are very knowledgeable people there - but you will need to be very specific with your problem description, and provide postconf -n output and logs of the errors...

I realize this is a Postfix issue, but I wanted to ask what are the
consequences of uninstalling Postfix, then reinstalling as it relates
to Mailman - do I need to do anything with my existing Mailman
installation, will I need to reinstall, etc.

Reinstalling would be silly at this point. Fix the problem. From your vague description, it sounds like a hardware problem.

Things never break 'for no reason'...
