I'm uncertain how this might work on one machine as I host many virtual domains
on a relay while the list servers are on other machines.  However, for what it
might or might not be worth:

Relay's virtual file

lists.this.domain.tld                DOMAIN
@lists.this.domain.tld             @lists.real.address
# sends all mail for @lists to lists machine

On the lists machine aliases as normal.



Now perusing the Postfix book it looks as if you should be able to do what you
want on one machine like this:

/etc/postfix/virtual

virtual.domain                         DOMAIN
list at virtual.domain                    list
list-admin at virtual.domain              list-admin
list-request at virtual.domain            list-request
list-owner at virtual.domain              list-admin

another.domain                         DOMAIN
thing at another.domain                   thing
thing-admin at another.domain             thing-admin
thing-request at another.domain           thing-request
thing-owner at another.domain             thing-admin


/etc/postfix/aliases

list:                    "|/mailman/mail/wrapper post list"
list-admin:              "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner list"
list-request:            "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd list"
list-owner:              list-admin

thing:                   "|/mailman/mail/wrapper post thing"
thing-admin:             "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner thing"
thing-request:           "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd thing"
thing-owner:             thing-admin


However since each "list" in a virtual domain points at a local "user" and those
local users must be unique so too the list names must be unique over ALL the
virtual domains:

ie you cannot have

mylist at virtual.domain  and mylist at seconddomain.


Mmm...  perhaps worth saying again, I'm looking at a book, I *haven't* set it up
like this myself.
