Have you tried adding the following to your
MAILMANHOME/Mailman/mm_cfg.py?  I saw this in the Defaults.py...

- - - - - 8< - - - - - Cut Here - - - - - 8< - - - - -

# When true, mailman will consider user at host.domain to be the same address
# as user at domain.  If set to 0, mailman will consider user at host.domain to
# be the same address as user at Host.DoMain, but different than user at domain.
# Usernames will be case preserved, and host parts of addresses will all be
# lowercased.
SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH = 1

Majordomo used to call it munging the domain.  I think that will take care
