I did do it this way, but I added a confirmation feature so users have to confirm
being added/removed from a list. I put in some logic in my RCPT and DATA templates
that gives anything addressed to "list_" to a special processor template (which takes
care of all list commands). So [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go to the
list processor which can then parse the To address and get the command, list name, and
user ID (the command manager also interprets more traditional-style commands in the
body of a message addressed to list_command).
Cheers,
