First, thanks for your patience. Two steps forward and one step back,
here. I have the interface running and I can create a list which
*does* send messages to my test recipients.
To answer your question, yes, I did all that, and that generates
postfix_domains and postfix_lmtp, but not postfix_vmap. Here's what I
got:
$more postfix_domains
# AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY MAILMAN ON 2021-12-26 22:29:27

libertyfp.org libertyfp.org
$more postfix_lmtp
# AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY MAILMAN ON 2021-12-26 22:29:27

testlist-subscribe(a)libertyfp.org lmtp:[mail.libertyfp.org]:8024
testlist-unsubscribe(a)libertyfp.org lmtp:[mail.libertyfp.org]:8024
But no postfix_vmap.
However, let me ask another question first:
When running mailman3, do I need to set up a completely different
virtual domain for it to run in? My "real" domain name is
libertyfp.org, and I'm trying to make mailman work on that domain, e.g.
"testlist(a)libertyfp.org." I'm starting to get the idea that I need to
stick a completely different domain in there for the mailinglist.
Which I can do -- I've got another two or three domain names to play
with. Is it a problem to run the mailinglist on the same domain that
the machine sits on for its regular business? A lot of the errors I'm
getting seem to be from trying to do regular mail *and* the mailinglist
on the same domain.
Now that I've installed all this stuff a couple of times, I can easily
re-install for a second virtual domain, if that's what I should be
doing.
But, on to what's not working now...
Unfortunately, I seem to have completely screwed the pooch on getting
postfix/dovecot to play nicely with respect to *receiving* mail.
First, adding "virtual_alias_domains" (and putting libertyfp.org in it)
and commenting out "virtual_mailbox_domains" resulted in postfix
ignoring all my virtual mailboxes. Mail still worked, but mail is now
being sent to /home/<user>/Maildir instead of
/home/vmail/libertyfp/<user>/Maildir -- which means that dovecot, which
looks in the virtual mailboxes, is now unaware of new mail. I suppose
I could link /home/<user>/Maildir to
/home/vmail/libertyfp.org/<user>/Maildir, but I suspect there will be
problems and it's not a real fix. But.. .a problem for another day.
Except... the same thing is happening with the mailinglist.
In mailman3:
I set up a test list (testlist(a)libertyfp.org) and added two test users
(one local and one on a different domain). They added just fine, and
both received the welcome message.
However, when I replied, both messages bounced with the error that
"testlist(a)libertyfp.org" was "user unknown in virtual alias table."
No problem, I thought. So I added:
testlist(a)libertyfp.org testlist
to /etc/postfix/virtual, and
testlist libertyfp.org/testlist/Maildir
to /etc/postfix/virtual-mailbox,
and I added testlist as a user:
$ adduser -m testlist
So, now mail from my list members goes to /home/testlist/Maildir, but
not to the mailinglist.
I also have managed to get another *different* warning, and the "there
ain't no vmap, newbie" error as well:

That "you can't have both virtual_alias_domains" and "relay_domains"
seems like it should be a clue. But I don't' know what for. Adding
virtual_alias_domains really changed things...
Anyway, here's the part of the /etc/postfix/main.cf that I think is
likely important. Note that I comments out "virtual_mailbox_domains".

mydestination = localhost, localhost.$mydomain
