By not doing it at the time, I am now doomed to have to support the  
current system forever anyway. Adding a DNS zone to it will add a 2nd  
system I have to support. The list is pretty stable now, so people  
for whom the wget doesn't work will get an update when they upgrade  
MailScanner anyway. I don't think it needs any form of rapid update  
system, weekly or even monthly will do now.

Sorry I didn't take more effort at the time, it's all a bit late now :-(
