|Now, let's say webmaster@foo.com and webmaster@bar.com both belong a 
|a list called "test-l", and a single email message has been sent to 
|that this.

I wasn't clear - sorry.  Let's say that they
are aliased to different people.  webmaster@foo.com
could be redirected to foo@isp.com, while 
webmaster@bar.com is redirected to bar@isp.com
(assuming foo.com and bar.com are both VDs at
isp.com).

As I understand it, lyris would attempt to send
both of these to webmaster@mailhost.isp.com .
Or does it simply connect to mailhost.isp.com
but use SMTP TO fields of webmaster@foo.com
and webmaster@bar.com ?
