Just a thought and I may be all wet here but is it possible the user is
sending to an alias for the listname, possibly an alternative hostname for
the machine, that mailman doesn't know is an acceptable alternative and
therefore considers it to an implicit destination?

For example, mailman expects lists.example.com but mail is sent to
list at foo.example.com which is the same host.
