You're correct that this is an issue where manual updates of per-list
aliases are required.

Both Exim and Postfix can be integrated with Mailman so as not to
require this <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/mail-server.html>.
The Postfix integration can be faked to work with Sendmail
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.049.htp>,
and there may be other MTAs that can be integrated to work without
manual aliases, so in many cases, manual aliases are not an issue.
