Of course...  What *WAS* I thinking.  :-)

I still think it's probably a good idea to fake one if we didn't get one
(since the archiving needs it).

The real fix is, of course, to insert "preline" at the beginning of the
aliases for the mailing list wrapper.  So, that patch I submitted for
qmail aliases should be changed as the following:
