It looks like my tabs were converted to spaces in my example.
/etc/mail/virtusertable:
listname-outgoing<tab>error:nouser<space>User<space>unknown
listname-200108<tab>error:nouser<space>User<space>unknown

The addresses above may need to be fully qualified for your domain.
/etc/mail/virtusertable:
listname-outgoing@gmx.at<tab>error:nouser<space>User<space>unknown
listname-200108@gmx.at<tab>error:nouser<space>User<space>unknown

This will not prevent local system users from sending messages 
directly to your delivery alias, but will stop users outside the
local system from accessing this address directly.

As for just changing the alias, I hope you also added the ,nobody
so sendmail does not advertise this new alias in message headers.
