Remove the line

DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'

from mm_cfg.py.

Then if you want the shunted messages to be delivered, run

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt

Otherwise

rm /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt/*

It is not an alias problem. Aliases have to do with delivery of
incoming mail to Mailman. Your problem was with sending outgoing mail
from Mailman.
