That shouldn't be necessary, since page 3 of the Elm Alias System Users
Guide says "The major limitation with group aliases is that each of the
people in the list must be a previously defined alias or a valid mail
address on the current machine".                     >**<

Listing each local user's mailbox's name in the group's membership
list should do the job.
