[MM3-users] mailing list aliases

I'm running mailman 3.3.0 and seeing odd behavior for "Settings/Message Acceptance/Acceptable aliases".

Two things strike me as odd:

1. whenever I change content of that field interface keeps on wrapping it in more and more square brackets:

[u'[u\'[u"[u\\\'foo@my.com\\\']"]\']']

whereas I've started with simple foo@my.com. I've checked with mailmanclient library and it seems like this is happening at the core level not just an interface:

ml.settings['acceptable_aliases']=['foo@my.com'] ml.save() print ml.settings['acceptable_aliases']

am I using it wrong or is there a bug?

2. Related to #1 - we've migrated our mailing lists from foo@my.com to foo@lists.my.com however we've preserved old addresses. But in new setup mail sent in gets stopped for moderation with: "X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: implicit-dest" . What's the best course of action here to get mailing list respond to multiple email addresses?
