It works just fine aliasing those addresses to their maintainer
destinations explicitly, leaving owner_request_special alone. I think
there's even a part of a "new list" script that will do that for you
by digging around with postconf commands to find where the alias file
is. (At least, I'm *pretty* sure I didn't add that....)
