Is a file aliases.db generated? If the mail is delivered to the
catch-all account, then the aliases are not being read for sure;
the "newaliases" command will not help you if main.cf doesn't point to
the right place... 

in main.cf do you have:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
