It really does seem like that. See what postmaster is aliased to. My server's /etc/aliases has several entries like this:

admin:          root
bin:            root
adm:            root
mail:           root
apache:         root
mailnull:       root
smmsp:          root
postfix:        root
system:         root
abuse:          root
webmaster:      root
mailer-daemon:  postmaster
postmaster:     root
mailman:        postmaster
info:           postmaster
marketing:      postmaster
sales:          postmaster
support:        postmaster

Note that postmaster is aliased to root, and root is later aliased to a real person's address.

It seems like his postmaster is aliased to mail...@his_server.edu.

Sounds like you have a catchall address pointing to the Mailman list address.
