You need MX. That's final. You can't do without.

You should get a FQDN for the mailinglist host (ie: your server). Name it
list.domain.tld, for instance. Have the DNS admin create an A record *and*
an MX record for list.domain.tld (so that @list.domain.tld e-mail gets to
your ip). Put the name list.domain.tld in /etc/sendmail.cw, restart sendmail
and you should be off.

Yup, subdomain. I wouldn't know of any other 'hacks', but this just seems to
be the simplest and cleanest solution. Still, it's just my two cents.

Good luck... Nico
