One way is to use an actual mail list manager (eg mailman).

I haven't tested this, but what if you
alias Group "Group:;"
alias Group-real ...
Then put "Group" in the To: and Group-real in the Bcc? The "Text:;"
syntax is legal according to RFC 2822 (but NOT with <> around it like
MS Outhouse does).
Another alternative is to
set edit_headers
and make only one alias. Then move the real addresses to the Bcc:
header in your editor.
The actual header contents will be identical in both cases, just
different routes to get there. (I have used the manual editing of
headers on occaision)
