LOL. Not on IRIX it wasn't.

That. If you want a single MX accepting mail for the Internet, you have
to have virtual domains on it for your every host, and make sure SMTP
and/or DNS reliable routes addres@host.domain to address@domain. Which
may be easier than I think, I never tried...

Granted we're talking "just one" @list.domain here. Well, maybe also
@list.domain... and then by strong mathematical induction we arrive at
the above.

But then you wouldn't need it in mailman: if it's spoofed as per dmarc,
you just reject it regardless ot its destination.

Like I said, it's probably whooping 10 extra lines of python -- as long
as you use postfix. The question is how much work it is to support other
MTAs.
