I've written a mailer (in the sendmail sense) for Mailman. You can
define a mailertable entry as:
server.name.mil mailman:server.name.mil
And add the mailer to sendmail.cf:
MMailman, P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, U=mailman:other,
S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
A=mm-handler $h $u
...and it's all automagical. No more aliases, no more recompiling map
datbases.
You can find it in the archives, or I can mail you the most recent
working version.
