You still need MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py if you want Mailman to
generate and maintain the data/aliases* files for Postfix.

I don't know what brain dead packager put those comments in mm_cfg.py,
but that comment is just wrong. If you want Mailman to generate
aliases for Postfix, you need MTA = 'Postfix' whether or not you are
using virtual domains. See
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html>. You need to do the
things discussed in sec 6.1.1 in any case. If you are using Postfix
virtual domains, you also need the things discussed in section 6.1.2.

You may also find the comments in Defaults.py regarding MTA and
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS to be of interest.

Because you have not overridden the default MTA = 'Manual', genaliases
just prints the aliases for you to deal with manually.
