Oooh, good point. Like when I'm trying to use my ale at fultongreen.com (which
I do for spam-tracking purposes) even though the ALE listserv forwards msgs
to me at fultongreen.com (before I came up with the spam-tracking notion).

So what we need, really, is the ability to keep up with two types of
addresses: the ones which the listserv sends postings to, and the ones
against which the listserv authenticates the legitimacy of postings. In
some rare cases, a user may not want a particular maildrop address to ever
be authenticated (i.e., don't assume that all addies in the first group are
automatically included in the second).

Are the open source listserv technologies out there (Mailman, Majordomo,
etc.) capable of all this?
