I really don't think you should have to do that. You certainly didn't/don't
have to do that in mail-mode. sendmail.el's sendmail-send-it function uses
mailalias.el's expand-mail-aliases function before actually sending the
message. It's possible to put a function that does the same thing in
message-send-mail-hook (that's what I do now), but I think it should be done
automatically.
