This was all I needed to do for mailman

# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary.

system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
# >> Option added by convert4r3
file_transport = address_file
# >> Option added by convert4r3
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/$domain
search_type = lsearch
user = list

It's not. You should set "user" and "group" in the
system_aliases director (because every process (including pipes
ran from the alias file) should run under some UID and GID).
