The last line in the left part contains 48 chars.
It isn't clear what you really have, but I'm guessing that in each case
except the last, what you show as two lines is actually a single line
with whitespace between and the last line has no whitespace.
This is <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/651>, fixed in
Mailman 3.3.1 by <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/576>.

I solved the problem by adding a whitespathe last line has no whitespace.ce in the last line and I made a
new postmap for postfix_vmap.
But it would be better to solve the problem by changing the genaliases
process in the next update.
Already fixed and released in the last update.
