No. I don't think so.

I'm not sure about the maildrop aspect of it, but I *think* you can
just define mailman's aliases as a hash: in alias_maps. See
<http://mailman.sourceforge.net/mailman-install/node13.html> or
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html> for info on
configuring Mailman/Postfix integration.

Mailman's aliases deliver via a pipe to Mailman's mail wrapper which
queues the messages appropriately for Mailman.
