Ok, cool, thanks everyone. I checked out qpsmtpd but couldn't really find resources explaining how to do address rewriting; maybe I'm supposed to write my own perl script to do it. (I don't know perl, but if this is actually an easy solution and you can link me to somewhere that explains how to do it or something similar, I'd definitely be interested.)
Writing a procmail recipe looks pretty simple, so that might be good. One concern with the procmail solution is that I'm going to be programmatically adding users to Mailman mailing lists. It would seem, therefore, that I would need to alter the procmailrc file programmatically too. This is easily accomplished, but I wonder if this isn't a very robust solution. I'd rather be adding entries to a database, for instance, than altering a file. I'm worried about how well a solution that relies on writing to a file will scale, as well as whether I'm going to run into concurrency problems if multiple processes try to write the file simultaneously. I'm sure you all have much more experience writing software than I do, so your advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
