Hmm, well this isn't mailboxer -- this is the ezmlm program that comes 
with qmail. It's qmail's list management.

Here's my synical guess: you asked you ISP to help you setup mailboxer 
for mail lists with qmail and Zope. They heard "mail lists" and "qmail", 
hit their automatic button (which turns off the parts of the brain that 
listen for unfamiliar data, and in fact shuts down all further 
communication for a default period of time before a reset). 
Unfortunately, their automatic button doesn't give you what you need.

I've not messed with qmail in an ISP/restricted environment, but here's 
a couple things that could put this within your power to solve:

1) read up on qmail's aliases, the "-" (dash) notation for lists
2) use the dash notation to create an email address in a domain (name) 
for which you have access (which may only be a permutation on your user 
name)
3) read the qmail/mailboxer doc here: 
http://zope.org/Members/adytumsolutions
4) experiment with smtp2zope.py

Take care,
Duncan
