Fixed. When you run 'rmlist' as root, it alters the permissions on aliases to root:mailman and root's usually more restrictive umask. Setting it to mailman:mailman and 0664 as per the FAQ section 6.9 took care of things.

I know it's trivial to log in and run the postalias command as root, but has anybody solved this problem with sudo or the like so that the whole list creation mechanism can happen via the web interface ?
