You are missing the pipe in front of the aliases. Example: fp: "| /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post fp"
The pipe tells the mail server to launch the program (/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman, and to feed the message into the program as data. You'll need to edit all the aliases and add a pipe in front of each one. If you create a new list from the command line, you will see that proper format.
