Add a mail-alias field "ACME" to those people in your BBDB:
,----[ (info "(bbdb)Mail Sending Interfaces") ]
| For convenience there is the function `bbdb-add-or-remove-mail-alias'
| bound to `a' which adds an alias to one or multiple records when
| prefixed by a `*'. Called with a prefix argument `C-u' it will remove
| the given alias.
|
| If more than one person has the same mail-alias, then that alias
| expands to the addresses of all of those people; in this way you can
| maintain mailing lists within the BBDB.
|
| [...]
| To actually define the aliases which are stored in the BBDB, call the
| function `bbdb-define-all-aliases' from your `mail-setup-hook' (or
| `message-setup-hook' if you use Message mode coming with Gnus). This
| will search the database, and call `define-mail-alias' to define each
| of the resulting aliases.
`----
Bye, Reiner.
