=head1 NAME

Mail::Audit::List - Mail::Audit plugin for automatic list delivery

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Mail::Audit qw(List);
	my $mail = Mail::Audit->new;
    ...
        $mail->list_accept || $main->accept;

delivering mailing lists to a suitable mainbox. It requires the CPAN
C<Mail::ListDetector> module.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item C<list_accept([$delivery_dir])>

Attempts to deliver the message as a mailing list. It will place each 
message in C<$deliver_dir/$list_name>. The default value of C<$deliver_dir>
is C<$ENV{HOME} . "/mail">.

For instance, mail to C<perl5-porters@perl.org> will end up by default in
F</home/you/mail/perl5-porters>. 

Calls C<accept> and returns the filename delivered to if
C<Mail::ListDetector> can identify this mail as coming from a mailing
list, or 0 otherwise. 

The recipe given above should be able to replace a great number of
special-casing recipes.
