I think both of these examples are things which would be improved by having two lists.
Ofcourse not. Do we have cross postings right now? No.
At the moment it's as though we do have two lists, except they're not separated, so for many people questions about milters are already being sent to the wrong list in effect, and cross-posting should only occur in the case of "I have this problem and it might be the milter or it might not", which again we are seeing already, and the number of such messages which any subscriber to only the "non-milter" list would see in future will be less.
It's not realistic to assume that most newcomers will understand the difference, that's why I'm afraid that most ppl will cross-post just the same because that will provide the fastest way to get an answer.
Look at it from their point of view: they have a problem and want it solved now.
I have seen this kind of discussion on multiple lists and it's just a bad idea. All lists which were splitted have cross postings.
Taking this one step further you could assume to have dedicated lists for about every special interest group that has something talking to clamd.
The risk of knowledge and experience not being at one place, not to mention cross posting is just to big.
The few who are really bothered to much could operate the DEL key or use procmail to filter it out of their life.
