[plug] Smartlist/Exim and Westnet

[Shayne O'Neill]

Go the mailman.

The murdoch guild used smartlist for some time, and frankly it was an
arcane pain in the arse to maintain.

mailmans a little wonky to set up, but once going its fantastic. the
latest incarnations can be FULLY web maintained

The only reservation I have with mailman is I have a suspicion its a
little bit of a spam attractant.

*However*, it integrates with spamassassin beautifully.
