That's true and it's a real need. We plans virtual robot features.
It will be something like apache virtual servers.

Yes ! That's exactly what we want to do : main sympa deamon will
fork foreach virtual robot. Sympa.conf will be structured with two
parts : 
 -common parameter definition
 -virtual robot definition. In particular this section will define
  a ~sympa/expl directory foreach virtual robot.

Yes ! Currently all spools, queue, bouncequeue and sympa.pl, bounced.pl
archived.pl programs need to be duplicated for each virtual robot :(
