Ah, thanks for the output and the config file.  That makes it obvious
what's wrong.  You've been burned by case-sensitivity.  Instead of:

MTA = 'postfix'

you want:

MTA = 'Postfix'

(as in, an upper case P in Postfix).

The mailman config is particularly susceptible to this sort of thing
because it's actually a python module.  Python it sensitive to
indentation as well as case.

No problem.  Once you correct the case of the MTA variable, you won't
have to add anything to an aliases file manually.  Instead, mailman
will add the aliases to /etc/mailman/aliases automatically when you
create a list (or run genaliases).
