I have a script which handles multiple mailing lists, as well as regular
FAQ's. it is near to release.  on anonhost.rri.uwo.ca in the listserv
directory i have stored a unix implementaion of listserv. the author
of that is listed within the package, i merely store it. 

in its simplist form, have your postmaster set up an alias pointing to
a file, and you manage the file. so we have:

maillist:include:/home/keeper/list
maillist-request:keeper
maillist-owner:keeper
