Perhaps you could suggest a suitable procmail recipe instead of badmouthing me?
(*sigh*) After spending the last half-hour carefully composing a point-by-point reply designed to suggest alternatives but likely to be misconstrued as flames by those with tender constitutions, let me just suggest you read the man pages and mini-FAQ (in the "How can I forward to many addresses?" section). It's pretty obvious that you don't want to examine the problem, and prefer to consider any comment I make a personal attack, so what's the point in wasting more of both our lives? (There's a vast differrence between suggesting an idea is flawed and saying you are an idiot; had I believed the latter, I would have simply told you that. I didn't, so I didn't. Please try to grasp that.) I stand by my contention that, based on my limited understanding of your current description of the objectives (which don't appear to be well fleshed out IMHO), SmartList (or any mailing list manager) is NOT the right tool for the job. If you consider this a personal attack, well, there's nothing I can do about it. You are welcomed and encouraged to use procmail to filter any mail from me into /dev/null (again, see the man pages and mini-FAQ for instructions), to avoid the off-chance that I might inadvertantly "insult" you again, even when responding to someone else.
