I think we're ready for a 0.115a release right around (or on!) Christmas,
but I need to know if there's anything else of importance that people need
to see added to Listar 0.115a.

Just for reference, here's the changelog since 0.114a...
----
[12/18/1998] -- JCB
  -- Added a 'megalist' variable.  Setting this on a list cripples some
     Listar functionality to a small degree, and will be less efficient on
     small lists.  However, for lists in the range of 45,000 users, it
     works a hell of a lot better.  Setting 'megalist' to true for a list
     implies 'sort-tolist = no'.
  -- Added an 'always-unsub' variable which causes Bouncer to unsubscribe
     on maximum transient bounces, instead of just setting the user
     vacation.

[12/17/1998] -- JCB
  -- Thanks to Jeff Johnson (trn@trn.nu), Listar now compiles under 
     OpenBSD, too!

[12/16/1998] -- JCB
  -- Added a 'sort-tolist' variable.  If this is present, the tolist
     will be sorted using the Listar sorting logic.  If this is NOT
     present or set to false, no sorting of the tolist will be performed.
     For base sendmail installations, this is useful.  But for huge lists,
     (40,000+ users) the delay in sorting MIGHT outweigh the benefits.
     Also, it's less necessary on qmail or Postfix installations, and so
     you save time by not having it sort.  Previous versions of Listar
     always sorted.

[12/13/1998] -- JCB
  -- Another minor fix to bouncer, to set the first error time
     CORRECTLY.  Oops.
  -- Fix to nodupes.

[12/11/1998] -- JCB
  -- Fix to Bouncer, where in a certain situation, admins could be
     unsubscribed.  Gyack.

[12/10/1998] -- JCB
  -- Simple Listar WWW interface ('Listargate') added.  This needs a LOT
     of work before I'll consider it production-level.

[12/07/1998] -- JCB
  -- Added an 'antispam' module for blocking spam mail.  Really
     preliminary little thing, but I wanted it.

[12/01/1998] -- JCB
  -- Created 'predigest' command in digest.  This sends a copy of the
     latest digest issue as-is (e.g. whatever is currently in the digest
     buffer).  Hey, it was requested.

[11/23/1998] -- JCB
  -- Bug fixed in Digest; if transient-digest was false but no one was set
     digest, it would still nuke the digests. :(

[11/17/1998] -- JCB
  -- Updated CVS version to 0.115a
  -- Added new config variable, 'owner-fallback'.  If this is true, 
     and 'administrivia-address' is not set for a list, then the 
     'list-owner' address will be sent the administrivia notes instead.
     If it is false (or not set), and the administrivia-address is not
     set, then no administrivia note will be sent.  It will still fall
     back to the list-owner address for administrivia needing confirmation
     such as subscribe requests to a closed list.
