The conflict can be solved with virtual_alias_maps. for instance,
    newsucar.edu => news+ucarlistserver.example.org
    newsnlr.net => news+nrllistserver.example.org

then use news+ucar and news+nlr in your alias_maps. you can choose othe
forms, but '+' is nice if you also have it as an extension delimiter (so
that if no match is found, "news" will be tried).

A more general form would be
    listnamelistdomain.example =>
locallistname+listname=listdomainlistserver.example.org
but don't use wildcards as they break recipient validation.
