	Sure.  All you need to do is set up one file, .qmail-listname, and
fill it with addresses, one per line.

	For example:

.qmail-jujulist
contents
--------
&adam cybertrails com
&bob boboland org
&fu fu fufu net

	Etc Etc Etc..

	The list would be called username-jujulist whatever com   So to
send mail to the list, just send mail to username-jujulist.  Be aware,
though, that anyone can send mail to that address and have it relay
to all the usernames in the file.

	If you are looking at running mailing lists with Qmail you really
want to see Ezmlm.  (www.qmail.org)
