postfix does not have mailing lists, it has aliases. If you want a full
featured mailing list (e.g. mailman) that is an entirely different piece
of software (which may elect to utilize postfix as its MTA if it so
desires).
I
do use a full featured mailing list presently but its a
qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap/ezmlm on Solaris setup which i would like
to migrate to a postfix/cyrus/mailman on RHEL4 setup.
I am the maintainer for the mailman package here at Red Hat and I'm just
finishing an LDAP module for mailman. But you need to realize mailman
uses its own set of users based off of its own set of mailing lists,
there isn't an automatic mapping of system users to mailing list
members, which is what you seem to be expecting.

I
would be satisfied if the mailing lists can be maintained seperately
using its own list while the users are stored in the directory server,
but the only issue is when the mail server receives a mail, an ldap
lookup by the Spam Firewall (We use Barracuda here) shouldn't
result in it rejecting it as an invalid user since the lists are
maintained seperately.
