Glad to hear you fix it someway. I also wrote a simple MDA script which checked the listname from headers, then piped-out the message to lurker-index with the proper mailing list selection. I wrote it so that it directly parses lurker configuration to see if message was sent to an existing mailing list.

I also have no local users, so this seems a common problem. Perhaps some day FAQs will document this?
