data/aliases is created by mailman? or manually?
In going through an Ubuntu guide:
"This build of mailman runs as list. It must have permission to read /etc/aliases and read and write /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases. Do this with these commands:
sudo chown root:list /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases sudo chown root:list /etc/aliases"
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman#Postfix_Configuration
is data/aliases created by mailman? Or, do I manually create that file? How do I know that the aliases are correct?

If you put
MTA = 'Postfix'
in mm_cfg.py, Mailman creates/updates aliases and aliases.db. As long as the timestamp on aliases.db is equal or more recent than that on aliases, you can probably assume that Postfix's postalias command did the right thing in updating aliases.db from aliases.
How do I know that the aliases are correct?
Look at the aliases file.
