In mailman-2.2, Postfix.py is considerably patched from the current 
version, especially making use of LMTP interface.  New configuration 
output is summarized in

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2006-November/019307.html
(you should convert back ' at ' -> '@')

In this model, your '@localhost' corresponds to '@dom1.example.com' and 
all your list and personal maiboxes are to 'dom2.example.com'.  You need 
no individual listname(-subqueue) destination in 
aliases/virtual/transport files.  Only one line
dom2.example.com lmtp:localhost:8025
in transport file.  You only have to manage /etc/postfix/virtual for 
personal accounts.

Is this suffice your needs?
