You want to prevent your MTA from advertising your listname-outgoing
alias in the header "Received:" lines, and block the address from being
known to anyone connecting via SMTP protocol.

If you are using sendmail as your MTA, you can use the virtusertable to
block incoming connections to your alias.

You prevent the disclosure of this alias by adding ",nobody" to your
resend command.
