Ah, got it.  SA isn't running on the box where I read my mail, but it is
running on an intermediate box that forwards to this one.  Sorry for the
false alarm.

So SA on trilug.org only works for delivery of local trilug.org account
e-mail, assuming the user has enabled it via ~/.procmailrc.  Got it.

Yep.  This is the solution I recently went to with a majordomo-based
mailing list I run on another server.  I get more bounces from people
who post from addresses that aren't subscribed.  I think I've heard that
mailman makes the process of allowing config of extra addresses for
posting relatively painless, but I could be wrong.
