Given the lack of logs and configuration, all we can do is guess. My
guess is that you have a content_filter on 127.0.0.1 which is having
problems.
For problems with a content filter, see the documentation and support
channels for that particular software, whatever it might be.
For problems with Postfix, see the documentation and list posting
guidelines here:

You should not use real Internet names (unless you own them) as
examples. Example.TLD in all gTLDs and many other top-level domains
has been reserved for such use.
