The "via listname" part is there for a good reason - it is to prevent
human mistakes like the one you describe.
If something removes "via listname" from postfix-users messages,
that would be a terrible mistake, and they should stop doing that.

No, but you're welcome to contribute a content filter (Milter) that
does this. A Milter can be implemented in many programming languages,
and would work like this:
- Look at each SMFIC_RCPT event and see if the recipient domain is
local (a configurable list of domains).
- Look at each SMFIC_HEADER event, and see if it is an "X-MailFrom:"
or "X-Original-From:" header (a configurable list of labels).
- When receiving an SMFIC_EOH (end of headers) event, if there was
no "From: XXX via YYY" header, replace From: with content from
"X-MailFrom:" or "X-Original-From:".
