Mailman + Postfix - User unknown

Hi all, I'm having some trouble installing mailman (who doesn't?) right now.

I tried everything. I followed EXACTLY what is said on our wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mailman) but still it's not working.

Actually the only thing that is not working is 'sending an email to the mailing list'. And this is quite important for a mailing list, I guess.

After spending hours trying, here is my current status:

I created a mailing list called pynochio, with pynochio@too.gy as the mailing list address.

Postfix reads my /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman file and applies the mapping. I'm sure about that because I changed the content of virtual-mailman (and then hashed it using postmap command) and the email postfix was trying to authenticate changed. (so there is no permission issue from this side)

But then postfix concludes that the user doesn't exist. Here are fresh logs from journalctl, just for you:

Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/qmgr[26527]: 128382077C: from=<tout.guy@gmail.com>, size=1775, nrcpt=2 (queue active)
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/trivial-rewrite[26562]: warning: do not list domain too.gy in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/trivial-rewrite[26562]: warning: do not list domain too.gy in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/virtual[26567]: 128382077C: to=<pynochio@too.gy>, relay=virtual, delay=0.74, delays=0.65/0.03/0/0.07, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "pynochio@too.gy")
Mar 20 19:59:53 ks3100290 postfix/virtual[26567]: 128382077C: to=<toogy@too.gy>, relay=virtual, delay=0.78, delays=0.65/0.03/0/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir)

This warning appears because in the tutorial we are said to put `too.gy` (our domain) in mydestination and because in my postfix database inside the `domain` table, `too.gy` is said to be virtual (transport=virtual). I don't know if it should be that way.

My problem is that I don't really know how postfix and mailman are supposed to communicate. Postfix is supposed to let mailman handle things since pynochio@too.gy is a list address but it doesn't.

I read some tutorials (on other distribs) and they are using lists.too.gy domain for their lists address (it seems easier) but it looks like there's a better way to do it and in the archlinux mailman documentation, we are not using such subdomain for our lists. So I want to do it the right, archlinux way.

There is `postfix_to_mailman.py` transport script thing but I read it's a bad practice...

Here is the output of `postconf -n` (which respects the mailman tutorial, once again):

Any help appreciated. I'm on it since 10 hours, I don't want to kill myself.

EDIT: Forgot my `/etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py` >

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/archives/%(listname)s'
