Assuming you are talking about Mailman 2.1 (this is a MM 2.1 list), and
assuming You have Postfix/Mailman integration set up as in sections
6.1.1 and 6.1.2 of the installation manual
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html>, every time a list is
created or removed, Mailman runs the commands defined by default as:

POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'

to update the .db files for Mailman's data/aliases and data/virtual-mailman

You can set these in mm_cfg.py to point to any script you want to read
the files and do whatever you need.
