The above line is wrong. Normally you shouldn't need to specify
VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN at all, but if it is specified, it should
be something like 'localhost' or 'some.other.postfix.local.domain'. It
must not be the list domain because if it is it will result in
virtual-mailman mappings like

testl...@valnet.net    testl...@valnet.net

which tell Postfix to map the virtual domain address testl...@valnet.net
to the address testl...@valnet.net which is the same address and doesn't
tell Postfix what real address to actually deliver to.

Because you are mapping testl...@valnet.net to testl...@valnet.net
instead of to testlist or testlist@localhost

This is the puzzling part as it says that the mapping in virtual-mailman
is to testlist and not to testl...@valnet.net, so it should be working ???
