Mailman / Postfix aliases problem?

Question

Hello, all!
I've got mailman running, finally, after many hours of fighting with it. It is now to the point where it will accept new subscribers through the listinfo page, send them their confirmation, and accept a confirmation action by the user on the html page to do so. The list currently only has 2 members - the moderator and one test email account. The server is hosting many virtual domains. The list in question is in one; it is currently the only virt-domain that is using a mailman list.
However...
Attempts to send from the moderator to the list result in the following:
<[email protected]>: host
/var/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown.
Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have
authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
OK, so it seems to me that Postfix is not correctly figuring out that the listname is not a hosted mailbox, but is indeed a list name, and thus never bothers to send it off to mailman. I'm guessing this means I'm missing 1 little thing or other in postfix's main.cf but I can't figure out what. Help?
here is my main.cf:
smtpdtls_keyfile =
myhostname = my.fqdnname.com
mailbox_transport = cyrus
enableserveroptions = yes
mydomain = sysop.com
messagesizelimit = 104857600
spam_enabled = yes
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
virtualmailboxdomains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains
smtp_principal = smtp/[email protected]
virusdb_lastupdate = 2006-01-05 14:54:45 -0600
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,MY.CLASS.C.0/24
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,localhost,my.fqdnname.com
smtpdsasl_authenable = yes
smtpduse_pwserver = yes
smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitsasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
smtpdpw_server_securityoptions = plain,login,cram-md5
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
ownerrequestspecial = no
recipient_delimiter = +
smtpdhelorequired=yes
disablevrfycommand=yes
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases
Any help would be appreciated. I've Googled my eyes out and keep not finding what I need.

Also, what's the output of
postconf virtual_maps virtual_alias_maps
Let me be sure I understand your situation.  You currently have postfix setup with virtual domains and mysql.  You are successfully able to send/receive emails from your virtual accounts, correct?
Correct.
postconf: warning: virtual_maps: unknown parameter
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, pgsql:/etc/postfix/pgsql-virtual-forwards.cf
And the contents of /etc/postfix/pgsql-virtual-forwards.cf
hosts = localhost
user = postfix
password = MY_PASSWORD
dbname = db_postfix
query = SELECT forward_to FROM aliases WHERE email = '%s'
/etc/postfix/virtual_alias
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root
bin: root

nobody: root
uucp: root

Correct. My domain in question is ryla9810.org which has one alias that forwards to my gmail account (phil@), and I need one mail list with a dozen members (team@). The forward works, but the maillist is causing me grief
Thanks for all your input so far
