If you wanted to create the lists somewhere other than in ~alias, you could use
the users/assign mechanism.
For example, you could create a list called testlist in ~user like this:
$ ezmlm-make ~user/testlist ~user/.qmail-testlist testlist domain.com
In users/assign, you'd need the following entry:
+testlist:user:123:456:/usr/home/user:-:testlist:
(substituting the appropriate user and group IDs and path).
The list address would then be [EMAIL PROTECTED], but controlled by a regular
user rather than the alias user.
