Your question has a technical side that needs to be put on the table
when discussing this matter.

The EPFSUG admins are maintaining a so called "%-hack" that allows
people with @europarl addresses to be subscribed and to use mailing lists:

    http://epfsug.eu/wws/lists

Unfortunately, this"%-hack"is poorly documented,but here are some notes:

    http://pad.epfsug.eu/p/epfsug--fixing-sympa

Basically, the EP drops all mails where sender domain and server domain
is not the same.

So, the mail server has to re-write, on the fly, the sender domain when
distributing a mail from an @europarl subscriber. People whoreceive the
mails I send to the EPFSUG lists are therefore getting mails sent
from<erik.josefsson%europarl.europa.eu at epfsug.eu> and not from
<erik.josefsson at europarl.europa.eu>.

That's why it is called the "%-hack" :-)

Best regards.
