Problem with index list on a certain mailing list

I'm using %F in index_format to shows author name, but the slackware
mailing does something strange. This is how a From: line is formed:

>From: Fred Bloggs via slackware <slackware at mailman.lug.org.uk>

%F shows that as Slackware and so does %n and anything else designed
to show author name.

It's because I have an alias defined for it. I have aliases for all
the lists I'm subscribed to, made from the part of the address before
the '@'. EG alias mutt-users "Mutt Users" <address at domain> etc.

This is done automagically via a macro+shell script whenever I
subscribe to a new list, or unsubscribe and remove an old one.

Is there a way to fix that, other than removing the alias?
