Thanks for the help.

I have not been able to have mailman generate the aliases automatically.  I 
decided, for now, to go manual.  I put the aliases I got from 'genaliases' 
inside postfix's alias file and then generated the new db ('newaliases').

Now I am getting the group mismatch error:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed 
as group "_mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as 
group "nobody".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as 
group "_mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option 
`--with-mail-gid=nobody'. )

Yet I have read that this has been fixed since OpenBSD 3.8.  I have installed 
the postfix flavour (of mailman) via OBSD packages.  I guess I can remove it 
and install via OBSD ports and specify the configure option
'--with-mail-gid=mailman'.

Re mailman-generated aliases:
I cannot determine where this mailman package stores them.  I created 
/var/spool/mailman/data/aliases but nothing gets put there.

This is what I have put in mm_cfg.py:

add_virtualhost( 'mailman.domain.com' )
MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postmap'

Plus...

once I edited this file (as above) I received an error when trying to create a 
list ("We're sorry, we hit a bug!").  The list does get created.  I'm sure 
this error is related to the aliases.

Thanks again,

Pedro
