Probably because it is Saturday and people have other things to do -
most of those on this list correspond from their work address.

I'd try SMTP server (send) of 127.0.0.1. leave the program blank.

OK, the host you are trying to pass these to is saying it does not
recognise the destination. Since they seem to have a destination of ','
that is not surprising.
What destination were you using, has your mail log shown clearly that
postfix accepted the mail correctly for the destination or did the MUA
screw up.
