I want to change the alias from owner to not_owner or anything else.
I changed the alias file and expect some kind of breakage.
I can use a recommendation

If you're looking at an alias like
mailman-owner: "|/path/to/mail/mailman owner mailman"
you can change the "mailman-owner" part to anything you want.
If you are also looking at virtual mappings, you need to tweak them too.

Since genaliases actually changes your aliases, I assume you are using Mailman-postfix integration as described at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html>.
To generate the aliases.db file without running genaliases, the command is 'postalias', not 'postmap'
Iv you are using virtual mappings, you will have some setting for POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py, there will be virtual-mailman(.db) file in Mailman's data/ directory along with the aliases(.db) files and there will be a reference to data/virtual-mailman in Postfix virtual_alias_maps. See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html>.
Note: if you have virtual-mailman(.db) files and want to update the .db without running genaliases, the command here is 'postmap'
Also note that you could arrange for genaliases to generate the things you want, but that requires modifying the makealiases function in Mailman/MTA/Utils.py to return the aliases you want.
