That's fine as long as list names are globally unique. I.e., you can't
have two different lists named 'test' even if they are in different domains.

That's right. It should map the virtual domain address test at example.com
to the local address 'test' which is then aliased to
"|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test".

There should also be 9 more entries like

test-admin at example.com    test-admin
test-bounces at example.com    test-bounces
test-confirm at example.com    test-confirm
test-join at example.com    test-join
test-leave at example.com    test-leave
test-owner at example.com    test-owner
test-request at example.com    test-request
test-subscribe at example.com    test-subscribe
test-unsubscribe at example.com    test-unsubscribe

You also want

add_virtualhost('web.domain.for.example.org', 'example.org')

web.domain.for.example.org must be different from mail.example.com

OK

Why do you think it's wrong? Do you have a problem with mail delivery to
test at example.com? If so, what is the problem and what are the Postfix
log messages?
