Oh, ok. That makes sense.

I recall a .forward hack that would allow all incoming messages to be piped
in through a script before forwarding. Would that do the trick?

I think the trick was to have a .forward file with the line:
\[email protected], "| /export/home/kurt/update-script"

which would pipe any of my incoming mail through the script update-script.
This is the same hack used for the Unix vacation program. If your mailing list
was an account called [email protected] then this would probably do it.
