In this case, I don't think that the spaces will be a problem
(although Python does normally care a great deal about spacing), but
the double versus single quotes may be something that Python cares
about.

Probably a cron job, or some other command that you're using which
has effects other than the ones you expect. Take a look at the
"newaliases" command, and make sure it points to the postfix program
it should. Also make sure that your aliases and alias databases are
set up correctly in your main.cf.

Yes. IIRC, this is well documented.

You may want to try doing a manual install from our latest sources,
instead of depending on their package. Sometimes the package
maintainers get everything right, sometimes they don't.
But, when you come to us for assistance with whatever problems you've
got, we're not likely to be able to help you with problems caused by
the package maintainer, and it may be difficult to tell which
problems come from where. So, when you're using a packaged version,
you should always go to your OS support facilities first (which may
be directly to the package maintainer) and only once you have
confirmed that the problems are within Mailman itself and not a
result of the work done by the package maintainer, should you then
come here.
We have this problem with cPanel, Plesk and Apple all the time. We
tend to have fewer problems with other package providers (e.g., Red
Hat, FreeBSD, etc...), but the issues are largely the same.
