I'm a packrat in real life, but just the opposite online, usually, just
second-nature.  I've tar'd up those two ezmlm dirs, I'll leave the tarball
in ~apmail/lists/avalon.apache.org in case we ever want to re-expand them.
I've removed the various .qmail files for each list (which can be easily
recreated from the list dirs).   Mail to those lists will now bounce.  The
archives at http://avalon.apache.org/mail/ won't be touched.
