You can certainly add an entry to contacts.txt (either manually, or by
highlighting the desired email address in Sup and hitting "i") with
"johnbent" as an alias name for the full email address. Then Sup will do
the expansion for you when you compose a message.

To have this happen strictly at the level of the email address, I think
it would be a SMTP server configuration issue. That's the point at which
the email addresses get interpreted, at least for the purposes of
finding a recipient. But I ain't an MTA expert.
