This alias is not correct. You should consider Mailman/Postfix
integration as discussed at
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html>. In any case, the left
part of the alias (in alias_maps) should be a local_part only and
terminated with a colon as

mailman:    "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"

If you need virtual mappings (virtual_alias_maps), those entries look like

mailman at pmz.local      mailman

and map the virtual domain address mailman at pmz.local to the local
address mailman which is in turn mapped to the pipe by alias_maps.

It is hard to say for sure without at least the output of 'postconf -n',
but it looks like you may have a file containing aliases that belongs in
alias_maps included in virtual_alias_maps instead or in addition.

There are many threads on this subject in the archives of this list. See
the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/OIA9> for information on searching
