'dbm' was an erroneous assumption on my part. You are correct. It should be

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mail/aliases

No.

But if you enable Mailman-Postfix integration per 
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>, you will need to add

   hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases

(or whatever the correct path is) to alias_maps as discussed in the 
above reference
