Hello,
Thanks. The mail is rejected, but it's generating bounce messages,
whereas mail to unknown users that smtpd rejects doesn't get queued at all,
mail addressed to mailman seems to start through the queue rather than be
initially rejected.
Thanks.
Dave.

This mail was submitted via sendmail(1). Postfix doesn't have
a chance to evaluate it until delivery, so it gets bounced.

This mail was submitted from localhost, which you have
exempted from unknown recipient checks by permit_mynetworks.
If you want to enforce unknown recipient checks for local
users, list "reject_unlisted_recipient" before
"permit_mynetworks", but be aware some user mail programs
react badly to having submissions rejected.

From what i'm seeing in these logs i do not believe lists.example.com
is coming in to play either.
For all nonexistent users smtpd rejects them:

the single exception to this is mail...@example.com, which is not a
virtual user in the example.com virtual mailbox domain, but which is
listed in the /etc/passwd file as a user, specifically the user who
runs the mailman software. This user is getting rejected by virtual,
not local as i would expect.
Because you specify 'example.com' in $virtual_mailbox_domains, its valid
recipients are governed by $virtual_mailbox_maps. The /etc/passwd file does
not come into play. Therefore, if mail...@example.com is not listed in the
aforementioned map, mail addressed to that address is rejected. It seems
everything is working as designed.
