/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases does not exist. This is probably annoying for you--I'm pretty new to unix, and even newer to postfix.

If I copy /etc/aliases to /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases, do you think it will work? In fact, I'll try it and let you know. I'll give the mail server a few minutes to run it through.

or you could just remove that part from main.cf and restart postfix.
change this line
Code:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
to this
Code:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
for postfix (or email in general) its very helpful to learn how to send email using telnet, so you can troubleshoot quicker
telnet email - Google Search
