Grr, sorry to post this error-ridden code.

Quotes are not neeeded (and are in fact a syntax error) when specifying
keys, so the above should look like this:

    LIST =
    {
        mailer_daemon =
        {
            'to "postmaster"',
            'subject "returned mail",
        }, 

        nagios =
        {
            'from "root"',
            'subject "NAGIOS alert",
        }
    }

Here I forgot a comment marker, but you probably figured that out.  :)
