Thanks,

I respond for the twoo messages in the text.

----
I snipped your message to include the only relevant portion.

-->>Yes, but i think the config (alias with postfix) is important to the
comprehension of the error.

What are
the permissions on that file, and the others in /var/lib/mailman/lists
?
-->-rw-rw----    1 list     list         2909 nov  7 13:33 config.db

-->And all the directory lists are like this one:
-->drwxrwsr-x    2 root     list         4096 nov  7 13:33 testneo

The files should normally have permissions of at least 664 (775 for
directories), and owned by the mailman user and mailman group.  Also,
try running the bin/check_perms utility to check your mailman
installation's permissions.

-->No problems found

If your install uses the default user and group (mailman/mailman) then
the group owner for the file should be mailman with read and write
rights. Indeed every file and directory under ~mailman/.. should be
setup as such.

-> I install it whit debian and more or less all the files are in root:list

Except in
/var/lib/mailman/bin root:root
/var/lib/mailman/Mailman root:root
/var/lib/mailman/scripts root:root
...

If that is not working, try setting up Others with read/write to file
and see if it works. I wouldn't leave it that way, but it would confirm
that you have a permissions problem and not something obscure!

-->>I change the config.db in 777 to try and i have this (i insert the
permissions of each files)
