I don't proclaim to be an expert here but you asked for any ideas.. ;)

I belive to get qmail-alias to redilver with the proper envelop sender (
ie VERP style ) it only does so for forwarding addresses in a .qmail-list
file, ( like qlist uses ) and only then if .qmail-list-owner and
.qmail-list-owner-default are properly setup. ( sheesh.. maybe it should
still be called owner-hack.. )

In order to make smart list work with this you would have to bypass
handing the incoming messages to smartllist, and have smartlist deal
directly with the .qmail-list file instead of ~list/list/dist or have it
hard linked. Then of course you don't catch the unsubscribes to the wrong
place and stuff.. but that can be done otherways..

all in all with some knowledge of procmail smartlist and .qmail's you
could hash it all together to do some mighty cool stuff.. but there is
probobly not a simple answer..

please correct me if i'm wrong..
