just fresh installed again with mailman-2.1.3 from FreeBSD port
(and offcourse I've installed postfix-devel  from FreeBSD port too)

ipv6#ipv6# uname -srm
FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT i386

ipv6#cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
ipv6#make MAIL_GID=mailman install clean

ipv6# ls -la  /usr/local/mailman/
total 40

then:

ipv6#cd /usr/local/mailman
ipv6#bin/genaliases
ipv6#su
ipv6#chown mailman:mailman data/aliases*

ipv6# ls -la /usr/local/mailman/data/
total 70
drwxrwsr-x   2 root     mailman    512 Oct  1 13:00 .

-rw-rw----   1 mailman  mailman    357 Oct  1 13:00 aliases
-rw-r-----   1 mailman  mailman  65536 Oct  1 13:00 aliases.db
-rw-r--r--   1 root     mailman     10 Oct  1 12:52 last_mailman_version
-rw-r--r--   1 root     mailman  14110 Oct  1 12:51 sitelist.cfg

then I edited postfix's main.cf

ipv6#  vi /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
       alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases








many thanks !
