I've gone through the guide for mailman with some difficulty, but seem to be nearly there. I'm able to navigate to the mailman web GUI, create lists and subscribe. I just subscribe my local FQDN, so thufir@dur.bounceme.net for testing purposes. This FQDN only works on localhost.
However, e-mails to the list address, in this case test6@dur.bounceme.net, are rejected:

Why is this e-mail rejected? It seems to, maybe be related to the alias_maps and alias_database settings in postfix.
I've referenced the mailman docs on postfix integration, and nothing jumps out. I've deviated from the guide in some of the settings, because they seem wrong and are contradicted by the mailman docs.
Specifically, the path for:

alias_database = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
