AFAIK, Mailman never touches your /etc/aliases file. For
Mailman-under-Sendmail, it's up to the admin to manually edit
/etc/aliases every time a new list is added. For Mailman-under-Exim,
assuming you use the scheme documented in Nigel's How-to document, you
only have to edit /etc/aliases once: to add "mailman" and
"mailman-owner". You should not have have any other Mailman-related
entries in /etc/aliases.
