Research direction

Start by locating the update app and its handling of the "to" list, then inspect aliases.json and the existing alias format. Confirm how aliases are recognized before changing behavior. Done means aliases found in the "to" list are expanded to their full lists before Mailgun receives the update, including the ctc@ -> tsc@ case described in the issue.

Description

See #56.

I don't think that mailgun supports recursive aliases. So you can do ctc@ -> tsc@, you have to double-up the list. So what we should do with the update app in this repo is adjust it so that if any aliases are recognised in the "to" list (i.e. any x@iojs.org in the iojs.org aliases list) get expanded to what's in that list itself. So we can then use recursive aliases locally in aliases.json but mailgun only sees the full lists.
