Todd, this would do just as well (or better) on the ezmlm list, since a
couple of the possible solutions use ezmlm-* rather than qmail-queue.

So make ezmlm-reject omit that behavior. `man ezmlm-reject`

Eek, why not invoke ezmlm-send for each list? `man ezmlm-send` No need to
mess with qmail-queue, I don't think.

If you are asking for help, it would probably be best if you were complete
in your setup. Don't assume something is in the right format: prove it by
posting it. (Or put it up on the web and link to it.)
This may or may not actually help in this scenario, but you are *asking* to
get reamed by any number of people for mentioning the files but refusing to
post them. FYI.

Again, here's where it would be REALLY helpful to see this text file.

Er, off the top of my head, you want to reverse that wokka, since STDOUT is
an output stream. Like:
open \*STDIN, "<&MSG";
open \*STDOUT, ">&ENV";
Ah yes, looking at `man perlopentut` would seem to indicate that format is
right.
Anyway, it seems to be a lot of overkill. Just iterate over your lists and
invoke ezmlm-send for each one. Done.
Good luck,
