Larry's advice is probably the best to follow, but you could quote the
list name in the aliases, e.g.

s&l:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post 's&l'

and so forth. You would have to manually edit the aliases file for each
such list, but it would probably get you around this issue and on to
the next :-)
