	I think what he is talking about is working the way majordomo
does, with an alias file with all the subscriber names in it, so the MTA
can work various sorting & delivery magic. 

to Tom: I think that kind of mode of operation would be troublesome,
fortunately, there is another way. I have a divergent version of Mailman
1.0b1 that has been modifed to send outgoing mail by punting it to the
local mailserver via SMTP. This gives the MTA all the info it needs to do
various sorting/routing magic. I intend to sit down someday soon, and see
what I can do to integrate this back into the main Mailman source tree.
