        Guillaume is doing some automatic mailing list handling from
Savannah. The freesoftware.fsf.org domain will be on fencepost tool
(long thread about this in the archives). fencepost will have to handle
multi domain and therefore can also handle some fsfeurope.org lists.

        Handling the lists on fencepost is a big win since :

        1) Admin is automated by Savannah
        2) The mailman installation is taken care of already we don't
           have to maintain a new one
        3) The machine is taken care of by system-hackers

        I think it would be a waste of time to maintain a mailman installation
elsewhere. 

        Does it make sense ?
