What is required in postfix for mailman aliases, alias_maps, alias_database
where does postfix get the mailman list addresses from?

these are in there for three lists. When I add a list member using the WEB 
interface and click on notify list owner, or if I add myself to the list, I 
get notified. (I receive the e-mail.
The /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db gets updated.
For what is the systemwide mailing list "mailman" used?

I was on this site already. Seems kind of outdated? or Mandriva just installs 
it very differently.
