- There is no way to separate mailing list traffic from regular message
- traffic and probably never will be. What there will be is a way to
- prioritize list trafffic so it runs at a lower priority than regular mail.
- Unfortunately we simply ran out of time and while all the hooks for this
- were added to PMDF V4.1 the actual support at the mailing list level did not
- make it in. It will be in the next release of PMDF. Note that this mechanism
- can also be used to force the priority of the list upwards -- this is useful
- for bug reporting lists and similar things.
