	I know that I'm jumping into this debate late, but you may
find that Smartlist already has a number of the features that you
desire.  It uses a somewhat fuzzy matching on the list when deciding
to accept or reject a post.

	You could start by moving some lists to other servers.  If
people were happy with SmartList as a list server, I'd be happy to
