Yes, you could do some handwaving with psuedo hosts.  But, if you're mixing
lists and people, how are you going to tell which are which without keeping a 
list of them somewhere?  At that point, /etc/aliases isn't a bad way to go...
Unless all your lists have a particular pattern (i.e. they're *all* something-l)
