Like I mentioned earlier, Wil and AJ figured this out on the plug-mmtest
list (try it out, subscribe to mmtest, then post a message to it from a
non-subscribed address, or use the news gateway). I *believe* that they
were going to 'fix' the main list in the same manner. However, most of
this was coordinated via the irc channel, and they've both been
conspicuously absent there just recently.
I'm looking into the options they've set right now.

There's a configuration option that needs to be set.

I'm not entirely sure, myself. I would *assume* so, but we all know how
assumptions go.
