Ok, that was a bit more fiddly than expected, because now I needed to run two MDA under the same user. Also I noticed public-inbox-watch expects different Maildir for every list, so I had to put a maildrop in front of it to pre-sort by List-Id... couldn't -watch do that itself? -- Leah Neukirchen <[email protected]> http://leah.zone -- unsubscribe: [email protected] archive: https://public-inbox.org/meta/
