Hum. It is best not to disregard real user address but
indeed it means forwarding must be activated.
But wouldnt it be easy for you to have the aliases on the
mailing-server server: that would make the stuff working but it would
not implies that it would be working from the outside. That may be an
acceptable in-between solution.

So this cannot and should not be included, as it use deprecated stuff.

The way mailing-list address must be defined is using Mailing-list

That could be done by sv_mailman just the way it preconfigure the list
(private etc...), no?

That part could not be part of Savane, it is specific to Savannah's
arrangements.
