This isn't strictly necessary.  If you want to just use yourdomain.com you 
can set it up as a virtual mailbox domain.

This path is used by the Debian package at least, but other installations 
(including from source) may place this file elsewhere.

This part isn't necessary if you use Mailman's in-built postfix virtual 
domain support.

Put your virtual domain in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py and 
add hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman to virtual_alias_maps in 
main.cf (the same applies here about the location of this file).

The virtual-mailman file will be generated by Mailman and can take the 
place of the entries in postfixadmin.

This issue is discussed further in the Mailman installation guide at 
http://list.org/./mailman-install/node12.html

As you can gather, there's more than one way to slice this, but IMHO 
postfixadmin doesn't really add anything to the process.
