I don't generally add lots of alias variants when I subscribe to a new list. But when I see "To: notanalias@$hostname", I immediately open my mailing list aliases file and add "alias notanalias whatImeant". Over a small number of posts to the new list, I exhaust the "here's a new way to get the alias wrong" space and the aliases cover all the old ways, so I don't have to think about what it should be. Sort of a variant on "put it back in the first place that you looked for it", except I put it in all the places! -- Ed Blackman
