Actually Mailman doesn't get stumped by this. "bill@mail.taco.com" and
"bill@taco.com" would be considered the same person.

Hm... I don't think Jason is "point three compliant. :)
I'd strongly suggest someone who has actually moved their address to
unsubscribe and resubscribe with their new address (resetting your
settings can be annoying, though). Incidentally, you don't need to have
the list administrator do it, ifyou do it via the web interface.
