how to handle LONG alias list?

I've got a user who wants to create a long alias to be able to send emails
to (~300 students).

What's a descent method other than brute force?

I thought of aliases, but it seems to have a problem when the alias is more
than 255 characters or so. Brute force would suggest making shorter
aliases m1: userA, userB, userC m2: userX, userY, userZ... etc
then concatenate those shorter aliases into a main alias
101students: m1, m2, m3, etc.

any better method?

Thanks,
Dan
