I have a patch to newlist that has it automatically add the aliases to the 
file.  Do you want it?  Barry, should we put this in 2.0?  It currently only 
works for sendmail-style alias files, but it could probably be made more 
general.

If you set the option ALLOW_OPEN_SUBSCRIBE to 1 in mm_cfg.py, a checkbox for 
None will appear on that page.  That should be what you want.
