I understand your point.  It should say something like "You must now add
these aliases to your alias file" instead of just stating that they are
aliases.  Hopefully some developer-types are listening and could
consider rewording this in a future version?

Given the multitudes of MTAs, locations of alias files, etc, I'm not
sure that's such a good idea.  But for sysadmin's who create a lot of
lists, it might be feasible to develop a script to do such on your own
system.  (The aliases are pretty formulaic anyway.)

Sorry for my snide-ness... but glad this got things fixed for you!
