You need to have another entry in your virtual map which maps [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
to a local address (one which is in mydestinations in Postfix).  Usually you 
would put in something like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]       [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and then have an entry for mylist in the alias map sending the list name to the 
Mailman scripts.

Remember that you will also need to do this for the other "aliases" which 
Mailman needs for a list, which varies depending on the version of Mailman 
which you are using.

Remember to put in the entries, in the virtual map and the alias map, for the 
other aliases which Mailman needs.

I hope this helps,
