So have you copied mailman's aliases from data/aliases to /etc/aliases
and run Postfix's postalias command?

Since you're putting aliases in /etc/aliases, Postfix will invoke the
wrapper with the owner:group of /etc/aliases.db. This is the group
that should be used as --with-mail-gid for configure.

So there is nothing in the Postfix log at all for the message you send
to listname-subscribe at ...?

Maybe it's being routed to some other MTA on some other server.
