David, This is actually a no-brainer: - Setup the integration to the point where Mailman generates the alises in the file ~mailman/data/aliases. Don't add this file to your Postfix aliases map. - Run a cronjob or daemon that monitors the ~mailman/data/aliases file for a change and then take that diff - isolate the new list name - Have your Mailman alias checking program pump the new list into your aliases file with all your alias mods. If you are into hacking Mailman (and you should be!) you can simply add an exec to the end of the Mailman process that updates the Mailman aliases file - and forget about setting that off via cron (or a small daemon). At that point you can also simply pass in the name of the new list as a parameter to the exec and bypass the Mailman aliases file altogether. Good luck and happy hacking!
