You don't add that line to virtual-mailman. You add it to your already 
pre-existing virtual_alias_maps map. Mailman is assuming that you have 
already created the domain and that it works with postfix before mailman 
comes along and simply adds some additional aliases for that domain in a 
secondary map file.

So, your main.cf should have an entry similar to this:

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql/valiases,
                      hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

You put the "some.dom.ain   foo" line in valiases, along with any other 
aliases for that domain (if you have any), and mailman puts the rest 
into virtual-mailman.
