There is a small mistake on your part, but it has nothing to do with
your problem. The lines

VIRTUAL_HOST = {'juweb.de':'juweb.de',
                'www.juweb.de':'juweb.de'}

in mm_cfg.py are meaningless because the dictionary is VIRTUAL_HOSTS,
not VIRTUAL_HOST, but the last two add_virtualhost lines put the
entries in the correct dictionary.

The issue here is that when Mailman creates an address for the site
list, such as the mailman-bounces address above, it uses the domain of
the list being processed. This will result in addresses such as
mailman-bounces at juweb.de in your case.

I am not very knowledgeable about Postfix, but mail to either address
mailman at jg-service.de or mailman at juweb.de should be properly delivered
to the site list. Likewise, mail to either
mailman-bounces at jg-service.de or mailman-bounces at juweb.de should be
properly delivered as a site list bounce. I think this may require
manually adding mailman at juweb.de and mailman-*@juweb.de entries in the
'virtual-mailman' file and similarly for any additional virtual
domains you may create in the future.
