Presumably, they are subscribing via email and postfix is rewriting the
address before delivering the mail to Mailman. If the student
subscribes via the web, I don't think the rewrite will occur, but that
still doesn't address the problem of accepting BOTH addresses.

You could modify Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py to consult your postfix
maps for the alternate address before deciding that a post is from a
non-member.

Alternatively, you could run some external process to get a membership
list, look up the alternate addresses and add those to
accept_these_nonmembers or as Grant suggests, subscribe them with mail
delivery disabled. bin/list_members, bin/add_members, and the scripts
at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/non_members> and
<http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_nomail.py> may help.
