Sorry, am I missing something? Sendmails virtuser function would do this
in a flash... I've never tried putting programs in virtuser, but if
required forward each virtual domain to an actual aliase where you can
execute the wrapper.

| list at domain.com. The general settings page is modifed to show the
| 'visible' list-name (list) in the prefix and hostname options.
| 
| 	The General options screen states that changing the 'public name' of
| the list will cause bad things to happen as it will be advertised as the
| email address. This is what I want to happen. Unfortunately, it isn't.
| So instead of subscribers being told that the address of the list is
| 'list at domain.com', they would get 'domain-com-list at domain.com'.
|

| difficult to pick up).
