Hi,

(Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted here....)

Let's figure out what issues have to be dealt with in deleting lists.

I see a few:

Actually deleting it (removing list files and aliases)
Notifying subscribers (and allowing a quiet option)
Changing aliases to have messages sent to the list-owner for a period of
	time (even after deletion), for lists that have moved to a
	different system
Archives (allow deletion or keeping them around)
	Allowing them to still be kept means that mj has to allow for
	retrieval of "non-list" (because it's no longer a list) archives
	that's not gonna be fun
forwarding un/subscribe commands - again for lists that have moved location

Anything else?

And, IMHO, only the mj system owner can remove a list. list-owner's should
NOT have this functionality.
