Thanks for the suggestion - before compiling it (I've got something else in 
the middle of a compile at the moment!), I've looked at readme.html.   This 
seems to indicate that moderators can only be set for *local* groups - is 
that not the case?

If not (ie if explicitly setting a moderators address for an external group 
will work), then this sounds exactly what I need!  Not the first time I've 
asked a Linux programmer about a feature only to find someone else has 
already made it work :-)
