Make sure that the Mailman qrunner processes are started (ps waux | grep
qrunner), if they aren't start them by using 'mailmanctl start', under
my Debian installation that's at /var/lib/mailman/bin but YMMV.

Concerning using Mailman with Postfix check the README.POSTFIX file that
comes with Mailman it has detailed instructions on what you need to
change in Postfix to get it to work with Mailman. 

If however you're using virtual domains as I am, then you'll need
something else - I'm using a python script called postfix-to-mailman,
then all mailing list mail gets sent to lists.* which is fed to
postfix-to-mailman.py by Postfix, and then goes on to Mailman. It's not
pretty (it's a resource hog, since mail has to be fed to a python
script, and Postfix can't know whether the mail it accepts for
lists.whatever will bounce), but having said all that, it does work.

If you want it - it's available at:
