If you're running sendmail or smail (probably others), you can set up your
alias in *their* alias files (eg: /usr/lib/aliases for smail, depending on
configuration), and the To: line will only show the alias name (because
mailx isn't doing the expansion, and smail/sendmail won't insert the
expansion into the message itself, just the uux command lines).
This is how I run my mailing list.
