I think you created the problem, not Macjordomo <G>. It's not smart, 
IMHO, to make up non-existent addresses when subscribing to a list. 
Use a real address, archive all your subscription confirmations in a 
separate folder for that address, and you'll always know what address 
you used to subscribe to what.

I don't think you'll find such a feature in any of the "simple" list 
servers out there, especially the free ones. Understand a little 
about the way they work: they don't send a separate message to every 
subscriber, but rather send one message per domain with a list of 
subscribers (e-mail addresses) attached. That makes them very fast 
and efficient over even slow connections on old servers. The 
disadvantage is that e-mail cannot be personalized as you're 
suggesting. I'm not aware of any of the Mac list servers that could 
handle that -- even the more powerful commercial software, LetterRip 
Pro, works the same was as Macjordomo in that regard. If anyone knows 
of other Mac options, I'd be interested in knowing, too. Does Stalker 
have a product that works differently?
