(Some of) the list _members_ are themselves represented as aliases. So
the final alias that directly represents the list has the owner- alias.
It isn't possible and it won't make any sense to add an owner- alias for
every listmember.
It's like the following aliases file:
testlist: member1, member2
owner-testlist: root
member1: leo
member2: testleo
You may argue that you already told me that in this case, the owner-
alias isn't the final alias and thus it won't work.
But that's bad. It should.
The other misfeature that I'd like to point out again is the behavior of
been_here() when the hash table is full. You praise postfix because
"there is no such thing in Postfix as an overflow" but silently doing
the wrong thing (simply not doing what the caller expects) will also
cause very bad subsequent errors, namely a loop in this case. And this
behavior has nothing to do with the reaction you intended:
