    Mailman doesn't change your aliases unless you explicitly tell it to when
you create a new list.  It just tells you what you need to add to your file.
If you want it to automatically start adding aliases, then you need to run
'newlist' with the -o <file> flag.  Read 'newlist -h' for more information on
this feature.
