I use pmdf_root:[mailserv]listname.dis for public lists maintained by MAILSERV.
In each list you can subscribe in%"listname_hidden" then include in ALIASES.
listname_hidden: <disk:[pmdf.mailserv.private]listname.dis
and maintain there your "concealed" addresses. You can't maintain them via
MAILSERV, but this does the job.
