Looking more and more like an option.  I would like to get postfix happening 
instead of sendmail, but I'm only willing to beat my head against the server 
for so long to make that happen.  I do still want to try Courier IMAP since I 
have specific serious issues with uw-imap, but since I now have uw-imap 
working, that can wait until I stop seeing the pretty colors around me from 
the sleep deprivation.

Yup, but what I'm trying to do is either treat ALL addresses @bostongeeks.com 
as the same thing as @thekramers.net, or pipe 
mymailinglist at bostongeeks.com       | mailman yada yada

Therein lies  the reason my problem is so hard.

I looked at those, but again, that's a slightly different (and eaiser) 
problem, since you're just mapping them to local users.

The problem is that I can't even START working on this stuff till the kid is 
asleep and primary chores are done, around 10:00pm.
