I'm not very expert in this area, but it seems at least with the above,
you'd need DNS entries for yahoo.com.remail.lists.org,
aol.com.remail.lists.org, thenextone.com.remail.lists.org,
theoneafterthat.com.remail.lists.org, ... and that would be a real pain.
Something like mmeyer=yahoo.com at remail.lists.org for the address might
be better.
