hrmm that seems like an interesting way to do things.  do you use an
automated system to create each one?  i think a variation on this might
fit our needs pretty well (although a way to simply change the email
address sent by mailman would, of course, be nicer :>)

do you use symbolic links for commands and just create a new directory
structure for the data directories and stuff?  seems like having lots of
full mailman installations might be a major headache when it comes time
to upgrade (keep in mind that we have about 10-12k customers and are now
starting to allow unlimited discussion lists on all plans)...
