I'm not sure about your explanation, but when I changed all the aliases and aliases.db files on my system to mailman:mailman ownership, everything is finally working. By your explanation, Postfix must be running as gid mailman now. Thanks for the help, everyone. Should this be added to the documentation somewhere? I can usually find anything using the documentation, but I really don't think this information is in the documentation or FAQ anywhere.
