Postfix queue?

This looks like mailman has received the post and is trying to notify
the owner/moderator (or maybe deliver the post if there is only one
recipient). Listname-bounces is the usual envelope sender for messages
from Mailman.

aliases.db should be group writable and I think is normally owned by
root which may relate to the above log message.
