I see that mailman uses sendmails aliases file. In theory, should a new list be added to the aliases file every time a new list is created?
My mailman configuration is not adding the appropriate list name to the aliases file. Could this be a permission problem?

Mailman doesn't add anything to the alias file - that is up to the administrator of the system to do. The 'newlist' script will spit out a ready-made bit of text you can cut-and-paste into your alias file, but you still have to actually do that.
