ah...

I will review your patch, and I used list-domain.tld instead of 
list.domain.tld, but I basically came to the same conclusion and just 
implemented same.  I got the idea from 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-September/063254.html

This really needs to be documented somewhere.

does using a dash vs a dot as a separater make any difference re eventual 
upgrade path?  I'm still testing at this point but I'll be making a lot of 
lists soon, so now's the time to change anything.

Thanks again,
Geoff.
