As you've found, Postfix doesn't allow non-local aliases, so you have to
create separate virtual mappings to unique local aliases, and then point
those local aliases to the executables.

Olivier sent instructions on that on 8/13, which I'll excerpt below.
He suggests using Postfix's regexp facility; the more basic and brute-force
approach (which I'm afraid I'm still using) is to maintain an additional
file, "virtual", with mappings for these addresses like:

sympa@mydomain        sympa-mydomain
listmaster@mydomain   listmaster-mydomain
...

and then in the aliases file:

sympa-mydomain:     "|  /home/sympa/bin/queue sympa@mydomain"
listmaster-mydomain: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue listmaster@mydomain"
...

Actually I don't have that alias for listmaster -- not sure if it works.
