	Thanks for the datapoints.  I'm new to mailinglists, mailman
	esp'ly, so don't understand the comment entirely.  Is he saying
	that I can, via the web (http://sage.thought.org/mailman/listinfo)
	create a virtual host?  grepping -r thru the code, I can see
	where my FQDN is.  Hardcoded.  (sage is my webserver.)  Seems 
	like hardcoding it either in Defaults or in mm_cfg is the better
	way of adding new mappings.

	Oh: {virt ":" real "," virt ":" real} is syntax I didn't know of.
