I had a similar problem. You might want to try this: start a second list
(listname.alt) and add secondary addresses there. Then add the second list
name to the restrict-post option
 (eg. restrict-post = listname:listname.alt ) 
Problem with this is that it requires you to add each new address
manually. It was easier than continually trying to train list users, but
still not ideal.

I'd also be interested on how to get the non-member bounce notification to
also go to the sender.

Best regards,
Gary
