It's more than a little odd. I would think the appropriate solution to
this would be between the list community and the user. If it were my
list, I would insist that this be resolved in some other way than by
deception.

That said however, you could only do this by modifying/creating code.
Mailman/Handlers/CalcRecips.py is one place it could be done. It could
also be done in a custom handler
