Try "VM" mailer under GNU Emacs [info: info-vm-request@uunet.uu.net]

Reading Digests
***************

A "digest" is one or more mail messages encapsulated in a single message.

VM supports digests by providing a command to "burst" them into their
individual messages.  These messages can then be handled like any other
messages under VM.

The command `*' (`vm-burst-digest') bursts a digest into its individual
messages and appends them to current folder.  These messages are then
assimilated into the current folder using the default grouping.  *Note
Grouping Messages::.  The original digest message is not altered, and
the messages extracted from it are not part of the on-disk copy of the
folder until a save is done.

I have a mailing list driver, written in Perl.  It is designed to 
handle multiple mailing lists.  It is still in a alfa release stage,
but has been used for a while to run several mailing lists here.
Anyone interested in a copy can send me e-mail.

In whatever/aliases, I have

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# rain.com Mailing List
#
rain-list: "|/usr/local/bin/smail -m -oi -odq -frain-list-request rain-list-data"
rain-list-data: :include:/u/News/lists/rain
rain-list-owner: news
rain-list-request: rain-list-owner
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then /u/News/lists/rain has

user@dom.ain (J R User),
big-sig@brag.site (Bandwidth Waster),
...

Sendmail use is very similar.
