Excellent. Thanks for the sanity check!

Cool.

Ah yes, of course. I'm using Postfix-style virtual domains because I
don't want my lists to show up in the other domains; which might be
foolish in a way, because in MM2.0 and 2.1 you still won't be able to
have two lists with the same name in two diferent virtual domains.
