	If you follow the instructions in the README.POSTFIX file (see 
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/README.POSTFIX?rev=2.11.2.5&view=markup>), 
specifically the section marked "INTEGRATING POSTFIX AND MAILMAN", 
then the aliases will automatically be generated for you and you 
won't have the problem of accepting garbage for random e-mail 
addresses at your site.  You won't need the postfix "route" map stuff.


	That said, if you still want to go this way, I think you're going 
to have to make modifications to the Mailman source code.  We've 
created one way to address this problem which has been sufficient so 
far, and if you need something else, then you need to develop the 
code to do that (or get someone else to develop the code for you).

	Of course, if you do this, we would appreciate having that code 
contributed back to the project so that others may benefit.
