[Mailman-Users] No outgoing mails with Postfix when sending mail to list

Hello everybody,

I'm stuck with a problem. I've installed mailman and postfix via apt (debian
4.0).
If I register a user or a bounce message is sent to the list owner, the
emails go through and are received by the recipient. But if any user sends
an email to the list, it will be archieved but not send to all llist
members.

There seems to be something wrong with the aliases, because if I change
postfix config (main.cf) from

alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
alias_database = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db

to

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases

email are send to list members, but along with an error message 550, that
the adress is not available.

I hope anybody can help me with this problem.
I post my config down below:

*mm_config (mailman)*
*# The name of the list Mailman uses to send password reminders
# and similar. Don't change if you want mailman-owner to be
# a valid local part.

# accordingly (Alias and ScriptAlias directives in most httpds)
