You don't want Postfix to rewrite the name. That's more complicated
than you need and not what you want anyway because it would expose the
'true' name in the To: header of outgoing posts.

What you do is the following:

For listx in domain example.com, you create the list as
listx_example.com or however you want to append domain to name to make
it unique. You also add listx at example.com to acceptable_aliases for
the listx_example.com list.

For postfix, considering only the list posting address (the others are
similar) In the normal case for the listx at example.com list you would
have a virtual_alias_maps entry like

listx at example.com   listx

and an alias_maps entry like

listx: "|/path/to/wrapper post listx"

Instead of these, you would have a virtual_alias_maps entry like

listx at example.com   listx_example.com

and an alias_maps entry like

listx_example.com: "|/path/to/wrapper post listx_example.com"
