Is the following also something to consider?

'man aliases(5)' (Postfix) gives

- -------------- cut here ---->8 ---< head

[[ ... ]]

       In addition, when an alias exists for owner-name, delivery
       diagnostics  are  directed  to that address, instead of to
       the originator.  This is typically used to direct delivery
       errors  to the owner of a mailing list, who is in a better
       position to deal with mailing list delivery problems  than
       the originator of the undelivered mail.

[[ ... ]]

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

[[ ... ]]

       owner_request_special
              Give special treatment to owner-xxx and xxx-request
              addresses.

[[ ... ]]

- ---- 8<------- cut here ----------> tail

The default configuration gives 'owner_request_special = yes'.

Does mailman make the most of this postfix feature?
