I created a mailing list via the mailman web interface. The address fir it is listA@domain.org. Is it possible to create an alias for this address so that listB@domain.org represents the same list as listA@domain.org?
If you want to alias the email address only, you can do this in your MTA. If your MTA uses aliases to deliver to Mailman, you can just make copies of the listA aliases changing the listA alias name to listB, but not the name in the post command.
I.e., make copies of the aliases of the form
lista: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post lista" lista-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin lista" lista-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces lista" ...
that look like
listb: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post lista" listb-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin lista" listb-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces lista" ...
If your MTA delivers to Mailman programmatically (e.g. the recommended way for Exim), you will need to modify that process to deliver listB mail to listA.
Also, if listA's Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> require_explicit_destination is Yes, you will need to add listB@domain.org to listA's Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases.
If you also want to be able to access the web interface for listA using listB URLs, you will need to modify your web server config to rewrite URLs of the form
http://www.example.com/mailman/*/listb/*
to
http://www.example.com/mailman/*/lista/*
