It's been ages since I last set up majordomo, but I guess there should be a way to also pipe outgoing messages through a script that performs the delivery to AOX.

Does the MBOX importer support incremental loading? Because majordomo
spits out MBOX files for us already.

One option could be to use SMTP with a subscription as the primary way
(and we could set up a dedicated relaying from the mailserver for this
of course, so it's not subject to graylisting or anything like that),
and then daily or so load the MBOX files to cover anything that was
lost?
