Really?  It's not used a terrible lot here,
but when it is used I think our users rather
like being able to add bob@some.place.else

And being a moira-using site, our lists are
all integrated so, doing:

  chlist my-research-group -a bob@some.place.else

and being able to use 'my-research-group' for
mail and afs, web and login access controls, etc.
makes it even nicer.
