You should use mail-alias for this. When you use a comma delimited
list in mail-alias, then the record is a member of every maillist with
this name. When putting in the complete name (tab expansion does not
work) and given tab, the name of the alias is expanded to every
(first) e-mail address of the records having this alias in mail-alias.
