Nice ! We will introce that contrib as soon as we test it. 
We allready have some remarks :
- could you patch also doc/sympa.tex in order to add somem documentation
  about this new parameter ?
- net::SMTP become a new optional CPAN module, so there is some work arround
- this patch seems OK if Sympa manage only on domaine. If the list parameter
  "host" is used, the host to check may depend on the domain where the list
  must be installed.

FYI
I'am currently working on automatic alias creation and deletion. Because
alias process can very deferent from a host to anoter one, I will introduce
a new parameter in wwsympa.conf : alias_creation and alias_deletion which
are the path of a script who create and install all aliases requiered
when called with a list adress (ie <listname>@<host> ). We will distribute
our own alias management script as a contrib, not as part of sympa.
