The specific qmail alias you quote above looks wrong. I would expect
something more like

|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner websitename

or

|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/mm_wrapper owner websitename


Look at the /var/qmail/mailnames/website/.qmail-listname file. The
/var/qmail/mailnames/website/.qmail-listname-owner file should have
exactly the same ownership and permissions and should have exactly the
same contents except where
/var/qmail/mailnames/website/.qmail-listname has 'post',
/var/qmail/mailnames/website/.qmail-listname-owner should have 'owner'
(and similarly for the other
/var/qmail/mailnames/website/.qmail-listname-* files).
