My email server project is almost ready to move into beta testing, but I still have to figure out how get tmda to deal with mailing lists. Here is some data on my setup:

INCOMING FILTER
headers '^X-Spam-Status:\sNo' ok
headers '^X-TMDA-Confirmed:' ok
from-file '~/.tmda/lists/whitelist_confirmed' ok
headers '^X-Spam-Status:\sYes' confirm

OUTGOING FILTER
to * tag Reply-To dated envelope dated=10d from bare

My users are totally virtual (using vmailmgr) and will not have shell access, their only access is through IMAP.

To the best of my knowledge, there are three sorts of list setups:
1) web based
2) tagged address such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3) content/subject line signup where you put the word subscribe or some other command either in the subject line or body


I don't want to accidently send confirmation messages to the entire list, and obviously dated addresses aren't going to work for a subscription. The main MUA is going to be Mozilla 1.6 I'd prefer not to set up a web server if possible. Does anyone have a suggestions on a good comprehensive way to deal with this situation? I'm pretty sure I could make it work for me on a case by case basis, but I'd like to make it work for the users without my intervention besides their initial account setup.

I was looking at tmda-address and keywords but it doesn't seem to work with virtual users:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/src/tmda-1.0/bin]$ ./tmda-address --h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tmda-address", line 113, in ?
  from TMDA import Defaults
File "./TMDA/Defaults.py", line 1534, in ?
TMDA.Errors.ConfigError: Can't find key file: /root/.tmda/crypt_key

Since root doesn't recieve mail directly on my or any qmail system for that matter, this is obviously a directory confusion issue. On my box .qmail-root points to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the crypt key is located in /home/virtual/users/chris_berry/.tmda/crypt_key

Can I buy a vowel?
