What goes down there on the bottom is a per-list setting that is stored in a
text file. It can be configured, I believe, with the withlist mailman
command. What is at the bottom of the bostoncriticalmass emails is:

_______________________________________________
Boston Critical Mass mailing list
list at bostoncriticalmass.org
http://bostoncriticalmass.org/list
To unsubscribe email list-unsubscribe at bostoncriticalmass.org

You could easily shell script withlist to put the proper list setting based
on the apparent domain of each list.

It's all a little hack-ish, but definitely do-able/workable.

The only place it breaks down is if you want mailman to provide the public
with a "master list" of all lists hosted on the site (e.g.
<http://lists.bostoncoop.net>). Then I think this system breaks down.
