As a first contribution to this effort, here's an extremely simple
bug fix for the "multigram" program to address a problem that was
mentioned on the "Ongoing development" thread:

A big problem is that it does not handle different level of domain

listmaster.

That's not a bug... those are *DIFFERENT* email addresses.  In some
domains, they do NOT correspond to the same user, or one may be his
shell account and the other his ppp acount.

    I second this.  Messages to "daia(_at_)stoilow(_dot_)imar(_dot_)ro" and
"daia(_at_)imar(_dot_)ro" will go to different machines.  When I instruct a MLM 
to
subscribe me at the first address, I expect to receive mail there, not
at the second.
