	It's not just the MTA extension frameworks, it's also the myriad 
of things that Mailman may choose to do or to look at when deciding 
what to do, based on content in the message.

	I don't think it's feasible to completely re-write Mailman, or to 
completely re-write the MTAs, so that each of them has a deep 
integral understanding of all the nuances and complexities of the 
work that is being done by the other.


	Short of doing a rewrite on that scale, I suspect that we're 
going to continue to have these kinds of problems for some time.
