Something I forgot to mention in my last message....
This isn't just a matter of editing a few lines in an aliases file. The
aliases file is generated automatically each night from Moira. The code that
generates the file would have to be modified to create a two lists for each
mailing list as suggested by Paul Pomes.
Of course, that has problems of its own -- it immediately doubles the number
of mailing list aliases in the aliases file, and furthermore, it requires
several two extra processes to be forked each time a message is received for a
mailing list. The MIT mailhubs are already slow enough; how much slower do
you think they'll be if each incoming mailing-list message requires two more
processes?
