By the way the best thing is to make a virtual mail server to handle
! all of the mail. Eg. make a CNAME record for the virtual mailserver
! (like `lists.kva.hu', thus a `mail.kva.hu IN CNAME lists.kva.hu')
! into the name service, add the line `lists.kva.hu:mailman' to
! /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and a `lists.kva.hu' line to
! /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file. Don't forget to HUP the qmail-send
! after modifying "virtualdomains". Then every mail to lists.kva.hu
! will arrive to mail.kva.hu's mailman user.
