Thanks for your quickly answer. Everything is fine but I have another 
problem now. I have created the mailman alias in MySQL. When a user 
request to the list administrator the subscription to the list the 
administrator, the list administrator is not receiving the mail. In the 
postfix logs appear this messages:

my test domain is: dominio.pdc.cu

my mailman config is:

from Defaults import *
MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/'
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/cgi-bin/mailman/private'
IMAGE_LOGOS         = '/images/mailman/'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'dominio.pdc.cu'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'listas.dominio.pdc.cu'
DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'es'
USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER    = 0
DEFAULT_SEND_REMINDERS = 0
MTA='Postfix'

I have my mailman transport in mysql and the alias too

everything is fine, but the message to the list administrator is not 
sent when a user request a subscription

Thanks in advance, Amaury.
