You have a more serious issue to contend with first and that is that
Mailman does not accept email addresses consisting of only a
local-part ('smith' in your above example).

Stop thinking in terms of using MTA aliases to manage your list members
and let Mailman do its job.
Smith can subscribe her gmail address to a number of your Mailman lists
and when she moves to yahoo, she can change her address globally on
all your lists to which she is subscribed by visiting her options page
for a single list and changing her address globally.
