The TI mailer's interaction with namespace mailing lists seems a little
strange...  When I send mail from my TI to a mailing list, the mailing list
is expanded in the foreground, and the TI delivers the mail to each of the
addresses.  However, if I send mail from another machine (like a Sun) to
<mailing-list>@<explorer>, the TI doesn't deliver the mail to each mlist
member - rather, it expands the mlist to its addresses, and then routes that
through a primary mail server!  The namespace attr :USE-PRIMARY-MAIL-SERVERS
is :AFTER-FIRST-ATTEMPT, so I don't know why it's doing this.  Shouldn't it
try to deliver the mail to it's final destinations once before sending it
through a server?  I have logging on, so I'm pretty sure that the mail is
really going to a server on the first attempt, not the second.
