Charlie, thank you for your excellent suggestion. I just thought that since SmartList was providing the (deceased) list's functionality, the solution would have to involve SmartList also. Your solution is an excellent one, that I didn't see because of my tunnel vision.

Thanks, again.

   Why use SmartList for this at all? Close down the list, and set up a
simple vacation message off of the aliases. (Or even send a 500-level error
with the error message, "This list moved to foo@bar")

   Seems to me using SmartList for this is serious overkill.
