I'm really guessing here, but it looks like postfix is attempting to
deliver this message via a 'mailman' transport and is piping the message
to the transport (postfix_to_mailman.py ?) and there is some issue
because there is no user 'list' in the system.

If this doesn't help, please provide more detail as to your postfix
configuration. E.g. things like the output from 'postconf -n' the
non-comment contents of /etc/postfix/transport and the definition of the
'mailman' transport from /etc/postfix/master.cf.
