Well, I don't think the mailman list will be of much help.  Your Postfix
configuration is spaghetti.  Mailman would not add gmail addresses to
its transport table unless *you* tried to create them as mailman lists
(rather than to add them as recipients to a list).

Attempting to integrate Mailman into an MTA whose configuration you're
not prepared to minimally understand is not a good idea.  There's no
royal road to a working system, you need to learn the basics, and it
will take at least some time and effort.

Start with BASIC_CONFIGURATON_README, STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README,
VIRTUAL_README and Patrick/Ralf's or Kyle Dent's book. The basics
haven't changed that much in the decade or two since they were written.
