We do something like this, but from the opposite direction -- we have the
database drive the listservs.  All of our subscriber records (about 32,000)
are maintained in a database, and we run a script every other day which
rebuilds each of our 70+ lists from scratch.  If this sounds like something
you'd be interested in, feel free to email me.
