Sorry I'm late in on this - I have been away.

Does John Levine have data yet on how well this works with the current  
crop of mailing list software? Ezmlm checks subscribers based on  
MailFrom according to the admittedly brief checks I did, and so this  
scheme will break with ezmlm mailing lists (which is very popular, for  
example running the mailing lists at apache.org and perl.org). I'd like  
to see some kind of evaluation data on it though.

Matt.
