[loud cheer - I nearly pushed it all to the mailman list yesterday as I

2 comments spring to mind, one pedantic, one more useful...

These two routers differ *only* in the suffix handling (there used to be
more than one transport, but the transports are common now).... so we
can collapse them into a single router:-

  # Single mailman (list) handling router.  Handles both
  # the administration addresses (which have suffixes on)
  # and the (bare) list post address.
  mailman_router:
    driver = accept
    require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
    local_part_suffix_optional
    local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
                        -confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
                        -owner : -request : -admin
    transport = mailman_transport



Obviously exactly the same can be done for exim3 directors.
