I'm not sure why those would be generated differently, but those are
in fact the three "command addresses", which may be handled in a
different way by the code.  Perhaps they're generated from the mail
aliases, in which case I would check your entries in the "virtual"
and "aliases" files.  Mine for postfix are, eg.:

in /home/sympa/virtual:
lists.jrf.org     VIRTUALDOMAIN
address@concealed    postmaster
address@concealed  sympa-lists.jrf.org
address@concealed   listmaster
address@concealed     sympa-lists.jrf.org

in /home/sympa/aliases:
sympa-lists.jrf.org:    "| /home/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"
...plus all the list-specific aliases for each list

Olivier recently described a better way of handling the sympa-<domain>
alias through regexps, but I haven't implemented that yet.

The only host-related lines in my robot.conf are:

http_host lists.jrf.org
wwsympa_url   http://lists.jrf.org/lists
host lists.jrf.org

This is one of those things that had me pounding my fist into my head
the first time.  Changes related to back-end (non-WWW) handling of
virtual robots require that sympa be restarted -- and note that sending
the sympa.pl process a HUP signal does *not* do anything (it does for
the other three processes, but not sympa.pl).  Use the rc.d script if
it works for you.  More perplexingly, changes made to any WWSympa-
related configuration, for virtual robots or not, require the Apache
process to be STOPPED and then STARTED, *not* just restarted (cold
boot rather than warm boot?).  ie. "apachectl stop; apachectl start",
not "apachectl restart".  Probably has to do with FastCGI, so maybe 
only applies if you're using that, but surely you must be.
