No matter what you use to accomplish it, splitting the list AT THE SOURCE end will reduce the total burden on the MFA. An easy way to get there is to create lists for each of the subsets and subscribe those lists to the "all" list. They can then use procmail to discard the messages that don't apply to them and distribute the rest. The ultimately more efficient mode is to have the distinction made at the source itself (cvs) and send the mail only to the appropriate list. Than a public "all" list can either be server (as it is now) from cvs or by echoing each of the sublists.
