Hmmm. The MTA here is Courier-MTA. The virtual domains structure is
elegant in its simplicity, and very flexible.

~vmail/domains/list_hostname.tld/alias/.courier-listname - handles
redirection for listname@list_hostname.tld. Similarly,
~vmail/domains/list_hosthame.tld/alias/.courier-listname-default handles
everything else addressed to listname-whatever@list_hostname.tld, e.g.
listname-request@list_hostname.tld. It does this by redirecting to
~mailman/bin/courier-to-mailman.py, which I wrote based on
qmail-to-mailman.py and which is now part of the contrib section for
Mailman 2.x.

I'm not conversant with Postfix, but perhaps I can use this feature to
solve this problem.

Back to the drawing board ....... :(
