One line in /var/qmail/users/subusers delegates all addresses beginning
with "[listname]-" to majordomo.  If I supported owner-[listname], it
would be considerably more of a pain.  Like a lot of other mail systems,
qmail delegates namespace by prefix, not by suffix.

I think it's a dumb thing to put into an RFC, and I'm afraid that's one
section of an RFC that I'm not going to be paying much attention to.
Hopefully the real solution will come in the form of another RFC (the one
for standard headers to indicate mailing list contact addresses).
