It's easy to have a list receive mail from multiple domains merely by 
putting the standard piping Juju across multiple alias files. 


% grep 'list' alias.foo.com
list:        "|/usr/local/perl580/bin/tequila post   list"

% grep 'list' alias.bar.com  
list:        "|/usr/local/perl580/bin/tequila post   list"


Alternatively you can have the same address going to different lists on 
different domains.

% grep 'list' alias.foo.com 
list:        "|/usr/local/perl580/bin/tequila post   list-foo"
              
% grep 'list' alias.bar.com
list:        "|/usr/local/perl580/bin/tequila post   list-bar"



There's no reason why Siesta couldn't be adapated to have non unqiue 
list names. We'd have to have uniqueness constraint under SQLite. 

The problem is that the command tools (well, certianly nacho) rely on 
the user identifying the list they're working on using the list-name not 
the id (if it exists, I don't think it does under SQLite) but that would 
be quite easy to to change.

In fact with Jody's rewrite of nacho it would be possible to specify a 
list using either. 


% nacho show-users list=siesta-dev

% nacho show-users listid=1

or something.

I'm tired so this may all be wrong.
