My understanding may not have been clear on this but I would try to alias
"such addresses" to the mailman aliases.

If I have mailman aliases like this:

geeks:                 "|/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanstripwrapper post geeks"
geeks-admin:           "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner geeks"
geeks-request:         "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd geeks"
geeks-owner:           geeks-admin


I'll try this:


old-system-subscribe:  geeks-request
old-system:            geeks


NB: Just my opinion. I may not be necessarily correct.



        cheers
