I've wrote some Perl code to do it - it was delightfully simple and just
used the normal Perl DBM stuff, but you did need to put a '\0' on the end
of the looked-up key and strip it off the returned value.
A couple of weeks ago, I also modified Mailman to do the lookups so it
could canonicalise the addresses added to lists according to our rewrite
tables. [Only bit of Python I've ever done!] The same bit about the
'\0's applied.
If anyone's interested in these, email me and I can send them on.
