If newlist doesn't report an error, and you have as you said MTA =
'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py, then newlist must be updating some aliases
file.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB>. It claims the aliases are
at /etc/mailman/aliases in recent RedHat. I think that this is just a
symlink to /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases or vice versa, but it's worth
a look.

Have you tried running bin/genaliases? That may do something. You
shouldn't have had to create /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases. The fact
that you did says newlist is writing aliases elsewhere.

I don't think it's a bug, but RedHat relocates many things for FHS
compliance for SELinux. I think it's just a matter of finding where
things are.
