That's *exactly* the point of aliases and virtual aliases, when you
don't have (or perhaps don't want) a local user to receive the mail at
the apparent domain.

So for example it definitely helps you to get a handle on the mail to
"weblate" problem.  You use a virtual alias to direct that mail to
either a user on "list" such as root, or to a file, or even (when you
are confident in Mailman) to a mailing list.  Then you can see what
the mail is.

And you should definitely have such a alias, since there's no
recipient at weblate.  Or perhaps you would use a transport map to
catch all mail to weblate.

In particular with the mail to "weblate", it's almost certainly some
DSN about mail that "weblate" is sending to Mailman.  If you catch the
recipient address at "weblate" with a virtual alias, you can send that
to root or to a file (possibly via a local alias, I don't think
virtual aliases can go to files or pipes).
