I have updated some text, however it already says that owner-name
will direct delivery errors, and I don't see why that would change
for nested aliases. That is:
aliases:
list-a: aa, list-b, ac, ...
owner-list-a: us...@example.com
list-b: ba, bb bc, ...
owner-list-b: us...@example.com
Sending to list-b will always direct delivery errors to owner-list-b.
