[Mailman-Developers] mailman, aliases and exim

There's a recipe for exim's configuration that makes it unnecessary to
add aliases to /etc/aliases for every mailing list.

  list_transport:
    driver =3D pipe
    command =3D "/var/spool/smartlist/.bin/flist \
               ${local_part}${local_part_suffix}"
    current_directory =3D /var/spool/smartlist
    home_directory =3D /var/spool/smartlist
    user =3D smartlist
    group =3D list

Would/is something like this possible for mailman?  This std aliases
fragment would hint at needing to replace wrapper with a smart-wrapper
or such that groks the list addresses (test, test-admin, etc) and
calls wrapper as appropriate.

  ## test mailing list
  ## created: 27-Jan-2000 root
  test:                    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
  test-admin:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
  test-request:            "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
  owner-test:              test-admin
  test-owner:              test-admin

Would this work?  Comments?

Bye, J

PS: Need to get the Mailman source... as that wrapper ain't Python ;-)
