You're using postfix, correct?  Do you have MTA='Postfix' in
mm_cfg.py?  If not, that's the best way to integrate mailman and
postfix, IMO.  Once that's done, you should check that the permissions
are correct for the alias files ($PREFIX/data/aliases{,.db}).  They
should be owner and group mailman and group writable.

See the mailman installation manual for more details:
