Actually, yes it is ... its how majordomo deals with virtual domains ... when 
you send to pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org, it re-writes that as 
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org@<hostname> within the virtual tables, and then 
passes *that* to the aliases file for processing:

pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org:            "|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue 
- -r -d postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-request:    "|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue 
- -q -d postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-owner:      "|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue 
- -o -d postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"
owner-pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org:   pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-owner
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-subscribe:  "|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue 
- -c subscribe -d postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-subscribe-digest: 
"|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue -c subscribe-set --req setting=digest -d 
postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"
pgsql-hackers-postgresql.org-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/majordomo/bin/mj_enqueue 
- -c unsubscribe -d postgresql.org -l pgsql-hackers -P10 -p10"

It doesn't by pass any rules sending to that address, it just by passes the 
virtual rewrite tables in postfix ...
