This may be a problem. See below:

Looks good.

??? This is a copy of aliases. Is this really the content of
transport-mailman?

Above entries should look like

mailman-loop at lists.ifkuk.org            local:

mailman at lists.ifkuk.org                 local:

and similarly for the others. Also there should be a
transport-mailman.db with a time stamp >= transport-mailman's.

Again, this is a copy of aliases. Is this really the content of
virtual-mailman?

Above entries should look like

mailman-loop at lists.ifkuk.org     mailman-loop

mailman at lists.ifkuk.org          mailman

and similarly for the others.


If your virtual-mailman and transport-mailman(.db) are actually OK, I
think the problem is you have

relay_recipient_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

in Postfix main.cf. Since you changed to using the transport-maps
method, virtual-mailman.db is no longer being updated and only contains
entries for the first two lists. The fix is to change the above to

relay_recipient_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/transport-mailman

I have updated step 9 in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/10715238> to
note this.
