Rob, I sent you a solution offlist and your ISP seems to have a hard time picking it up! Since it's a non-Mailman related solution, I didn't think it best to post it up here. There is a solution you can install FREE on your server with a short learning curve and minimal requirements that fits your needs to a 'T'. Hopefully that e-mail will reach you shortly, if not I'll send another copy today as a backup!
