It's been at least a decade since I've done virtual domains if I ever have, 
but I've been running Postfix almost as long as I've been running Linux. 
Transport maps and aliases are two different things. Transport maps say that 
outgoing mail to a domain is sent through another host (e.g. when I had a VPN 
to my employer, mail from my home computer to my employer's domain was sent 
over the VPN instead of to my ISP's mail server). Alias maps say that 
incoming 
mail to an address is rerouted to another address or, in Sympa's case, piped 
to a program.

The file that Sympa adds lines to when creating a list is an alias map, not a 
transport map. It should be separate from /etc/aliases (which is owned by 
root) and should be listed in /etc/postfix/main.cf in this line:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/lib/sympa/etc/sympa_aliases
(your location may be different, since you're using RPM and I'm using deb).
