Have you checked your system_aliases router? Here's the default router 
which comes with my installation:


system_aliases:
  debug_print = "R: system_aliases for $local_part@$domain"
  driver = redirect
  domains = +local_domains
  allow_fail
  allow_defer
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
#  user = list
#  group = daemon
  file_transport = address_file
#  pipe_transport = address_pipe        ###### Piping to programs is 
should be disabled!!!
# directory_transport = address_directory


Try to disable pipe_transport or to place the mailman router before the 
system_aliases router.  Works fine on my system :-)
