Mailman should work pretty much out of the box with a standard

In order to support Mailman's optional VERP delivery, you will
want to disable luser_relay (the default) and you will want to set
! recipient_delimiter for extended address semantics. Here my
recommendations are to comment out any luser_relay value in your
main.cf and just go with the defaults. Also, set

configure's --prefix and --with-var-prefix options.
- A WORD OF CAUTION: The version of BerkeleyDB that Postfix was
- linked against MUST match the version that Python's bsddb module
- was linked against. If they don't, you will get an exception from
- genaliases (see below) that says "Invalid argument". You can use
- ldd to see which version each was linked against, and if they
- don't match, you'll have to recompile either Python or Postfix so
- that they do match. You'll probably find the most luck with
- libdb.so.3 and Python 2.1.1.

- If you are using Postfix-style virtual domains and you want
Mailman to honor your virtual domains, read the section below
first!

Postfix to consult aliases.db when looking for local addresses.

- When you configure Mailman, use the --with-mail-gid=mailman
! switch. Because the owner of the aliases.db file is `mailman',
! Postfix will execute Mailman's wrapper program as uid and gid
! mailman. If you don't use the --with-mail-gid switch, the
! wrapper will bounce messages, complaining of a gid mismatch.
That's it! One caveat: when you add or remove a list, the
! aliases.db file will be modified by Mailman, but it will not
! automatically run "postfix reload". This is because you need to
! be root to run this and suid-root scripts are not secure. The
! only effect of this is that it will take about a minute for
! Postfix to notice the change to the aliases.db file and update its
! tables. I consider this a minor inconvenience.
