So you have an alias in a virtual mapping. Aliases only work with
'local' delivery.

What is this for?

/etc/aliases is not in the correct format for virtual_alias_maps. It
should not be there.

So mail to my-list at foo.bar.com should use a 'mailman' transport,
presumably defined in master.cf as postfix_to_mailman.py. If you want
to use this, there should be no aliases for Mailman at all there
should only be transport maps entries of the form

my-list at foo.bar.com mailman:
my-list-admin at foo.bar.com mailman:
my-list-bounces at foo.bar.com mailman:
etc. A total of 10 per list since non-list mail for this domain should
be handled by the 'virtual' transport. The FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/ZoCj> may help.
