The only caveat to this is that Postfix will run the aliases as the
user/group that owns the aliases file (normally root).  If you go this
route, you will have to make sure that the owner/group of the
/etc/alaises file is mail/mail (or whatever Sendmail was using for its
user/group).

Otherwise when the Mail-cgi's are executed Mailman will see them as
being run by an unauthorized user and give a warning (and no mail).
