Do you mean

test at example.com: mikel at example.com, tina at example.com, clark at example.com

As I indicated previously, I think your requirements necessate at a
minimum, a custom handler to replace the standard
Mailman/Handlers/CalcRecips.py for this list, and some way for this
handler to know which list members should receive which poster's
posts. Implementation of custom handlers in general is discussed in
the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>. The details of the
implimentation of a handler to meet your requirements are beyond the
scope of the mailman-*@python.org lists.

On the other hand, If it is acceptable for the list members themselves
to determine whose posts they receive, you could do this with topics
by defining a topic for each poster and making a custom version of
Mailman/Handlers/Tagger.py for this list which would tag each post
with that poster's topic.

Then the list members could subscribe to the topics of the posters thay
want to receive.

The modified Tagger would be fairly simple. Just change the logic which
matches topic regexps against Subject: and Keywords: headers to match
against the From: header instead.
