You'd need to modify Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py

That's not a valid Postfix alias.

Note from 'man 5 aliases'

       ·      An alias definition has the form

                   name: value1, value2, ...

...
       The  name  is a local address (no domain part).

Are you sure you don't want virtual_alias_maps with

test at lists.mydomain.com   test
etc.

along with alias_maps

test:       "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test"
etc...

To do this, you add

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.mydomain.com']

to mm_cfg.py and then mailman will create data/virtual-mailman with the
virtual maps for all lists in the lists.mydomain.com domain.
