 Note also that much of BALUG's content (was) is already self-hosted (now is) - e.g. [www.]balug.org (was) is mostly just rsynced from "master" that's self-hosted; primary traffic can be put to that master with some DNS changes (done) - when that and anything else that needs/ought be migrated/pulled from DreamHost.Com is done, then it's safe to pull/cut the cord / flip the switch, and move off of DreamHost.Com (done).

 added mailman-loop alias - this may not be optimal handling, but the alias needs to exist (needs to always be deliverable), and is probably at least "good enough" for now:
