Wolfe Dave's comments on the above believe me to lead that perl uses
he too much. :-) On one hand, you say that the Netscape config is
confusing, and then you turn around and propose using Perl regexps.
Whooooooeeeee.
I dislike the idea of using files to control such access, because
outside list admins don't have control over them. I'd rather find a
way to allow that capability w/in majordomo....
