Depends on your MTA. With qmail, a single .qmail-list-default will catch
all the addresses. The MLM can find the command in $DEFAULT.
This capability is a prerequisite for more powerful features such as
VERPs. See http://pobox.com/~djb/proto/verp.txt.

``Empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' is simpler than
``message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with SUBSCRIBE in the Subject.''
It's easier to do by hand, easier to automate, and easier to parse.
Everyone understands that addresses have to be copied exactly.
