So integration with your MTA is not properly configured or even available.

Nope. It never does this. If Mailman generates aliases (MTA = 'Postfix'
in mm_cfg.py) it generates them in $var-prefix/data/aliases which in
RedHat may be symlinked or redirected to /etc/mailman/aliases.

Yes.

This list is not the appropriate place for your RedHat packaging issues.

See the installation manual section at
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html> for the
standard GNU Mailman/Postfix integration, and see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB> for RedHat file mappings.
