Did you fix the aliases problem you had? Without the proper list
aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases you won't get any mail delivered to
those lists. You do also have the mailman aliases file added to the
alias_maps in postfix's main.cf, right?

I wouldn't automatically assume it's selinux. Remind me again what
Fedora version you're running? I've got F7 here and I setup mailman
with postfix the other day and can subscribe and post to lists, read
the archives and other tasks with selinux in enforcing mode. There
may well be issues that come up in further usage, but I don't think
there are any with basic subscription and posting.

You can easily test whether it works in permissive mode by running
# setenforce 0
If things magically work after that, then there's an selinux issue to
be looked at (perhaps mislabeled files or something). You could then
choose to find and fix those issues or ignore them and simple run
selinux in permissive mode by configuring /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

Ideally you won't have to do any setup to have it work. If you do
need to tweak something, it'll take some reading. On my test system
I've got the selinux troubleshooting tool installed and anytime
there's an selinux denial it'll notify me on the gnome panel.
Clicking that brings up a graphical tool that tries to explain the
denial and how you might fix it. That's been quite helpful to me in
learning more about solving selinux issues rather than simply
disabling it.

Sure thing.
