On it's own, I agree.

Currently factually and technically correct, But...
There is no reason that Mailman couldn't be enhanced with a configurable
*option* that would allow the domain Admin to *tell* it which
character(s) (there was recent talk on the postfix list of postfix being
enhanced to allow multiple characters to be defined as this delimiter)
were to be used as delimiters.
I would love to see this ability in MM3...
