Yes, and that works fine here since more than a year ;-).

Create the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases file manualy and set the
right permissions. Then try the genaliases command again:
# touch /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
# chown user_that_your_webserver_runs_under:mailman aliases
# chmod 660 aliases
On my box with SUSE 8.1 the alias files in /var/lib/mailman/data look
like this:
# ls -al /var/lib/mailman/data/al*
-rw-rw---- 1 wwwrun mailman 56857 Dec 11 23:45 aliases
-rwxr-xr-x 1 wwwrun mailman 90112 Dec 11 23:45 aliases.db
If the files were created correctly, you have to tell postfix about the
mailman alias file. From /etc/postfix/main.cf:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
