You are creating a new list via the web. You have specified Postfix as
your MTA so the last part of the process tries to update
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases and run /usr/sbin/postalias to update
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db. It is failing - probably for lack
of permission.

Be sure that both /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases and
/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db are in the mailman group and are
group writeable. Unfortunately bin/check_perms doesn't check this
completely.
