Maybe its possible to drop in a procmail type regex that if a post has
[OT] or [Offtopic] in the title auto reroutes it to the OT list (and
perhaps a mention of it in the footer so folks dont get caught by
surprise)

No offence to you, Mr Shayne, but I like what Senectus wrote

there is.

You start a thread that is off topic (like say this one) and instead
<br>
of posting to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:plug@plug.org.au">plug@plug.org.au</a> you post to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:off-topic@plug.org.au">off-topic@plug.org.au</a>.

On topic (Linux) = <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:plug@plug.org.au">plug@plug.org.au</a><br>
Off topic (Everything else) = <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:off-topic@plug.org.au">off-topic@plug.org.au</a><br>
<br>
Simple system. Works like a charm.<br>
