I guess this is one area where NNTP gating might be more successful than
the current SMTP-based process. I realise that the SMTP process has its
own advantages. I wonder if Mailman's gating is able to deal with this
and, if it is, whether you are able to glean anything helpful from its
code. (But, even if Mailman were able to do it, I assume it wouldn't
really work for us since off-topic is a SmartList.)

FYI it might be news at shameless now (both were apparently subscribed
overnight sometime, but only one appears to remain).
