Perhaps, for Mailman 3, Barry could talk to people like Eric Allman, Wietse Venema, and other solid MTA authors, to see if there is a way we could get a certain amount of message customization pulled into the MTA, without killing the performance of the machine.
But that's a question that Barry would have to answer.
I'd support such an effort. I think the right way to go about this would be to design a protocol (or perhaps an API) for MLM/MTA communication. I'd be less enthusiastic about a solution that was unique to a particular MTA.
Hey Brad, maybe you can dust off those protocol specs you once did. Or maybe you can make some first passes at a new specification. That would be a good jumping off point for approaching the MTA communities.
