Their advice is just one way to get this working. The actual
requirement is only that a small set of addresses be ultimately handled
by the local(8) delivery agent.
So you can keep the domain virtual provided you're willing to
do some rewriting:
virtual:
somel...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de somel...@lists.maennerchor-kirchseeon.de
owner-somel...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de
owner-somel...@lists.maennerchor-kirchseeon.de
somelist-requ...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de
somelist-requ...@lists.maennerchor-kirchseeon.de
(Double-check the mailman aliases file for any additional
requisite address local-parts).
with:
mydestination = the-grue.de lists.aennerchor-kirchseeon.de ...
This can also be done without rewriting, via transport table mappings
for just these addresses:
somel...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de local
owner-somel...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de local
somelist-requ...@maennerchor-kirchseeon.de local

You can have both be local domains, the only thing you need to keep in
mind is that when you have multiple local domains, just the local part
of the address identifies the mailbox, regardless of the domain suffix.
