Actually a more useful tool might be something for a remote account 
administrator to establish a new list on the server host. This could be 
generalized, to allow changing some list parameters I guess (but then you have 
to deal with version-specific locking and config file parsing, as John 
Orthoefer points out). 

I am probably going to further automate our list creation procedure (maybe a 
Java GUI plus a backend) and I will contribute it when it is ready.

Currently we have a "buildaliases" script which reads a "lists.attributes" 
file and spits out a new copy of /etc/aliases with all the aliases for each 
list in the lists.attributes file, but the other aspects of list creation have 
to be done manually by someone as root.

Actually I will send in a copy of my current "buildaliases" Perl script after 
this message.
