Are two lists really necessary? I don't think so. Look at exim-POP and
exim-IMAP (or whatever they are called -- shows you how much those are
used) that were created when there was a lot of talk about POP/IMAP.
Still, there is no traffic on those list and there hasn't been anything
posted in the last month or so.
As for high traffic lists, this is one of those things you have procmail
or a filter file and dump mails in folders that you can read at your
leasure when you have the time.
I don't see a need for two lists...
