Again many many thanks for your cool clarification. I have executed now

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases and now I have 

-rw-rw---- 1 root mailman 1762 Sep  2 16:57 /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

hope the ownership is not an issue.

regarding /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db permission issue; it is already set to mailman

-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Sep  2 16:57 /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db

Still group 65533 which is nobody group is called !!!
