Yes, I didn't look carefully enough at the code the first time. I see
it now.

The only way to fix this so the entries look like

cs1234 at list.qnan.org              cs1234 at localhost

is to patch Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py similarly to:

--- Postfix.py  2003-03-31 13:49:43.000000000 -0800
+++ localPostfix.py     2005-10-14 11:09:02.468750000 -0700

     # Now add all the standard alias entries
     for k, v in makealiases(listname):
         fqdnaddr = '%s@%s' % (k, hostname)
+        localaddr = '%s at localhost' % k
         # Format the text file nicely
-        print >> fp, fqdnaddr, ((fieldsz - len(k)) * ' '), k

     # Finish the text file stanza
     print >> fp, '# STANZA END:', listname
     print >> fp

As I said in my previous post:
