Is there an efficient way of making your list, or do you have to search on each of john, paul, judy's names and enter the list entry manually? The nice thing about the .mailrc is you simply type the lists in right there. It also makes them fairly easy to manage. I'm not sure what you mean by "two lists" since I only use the .mailrc for lists.

I have both BBDB and .mailrc w/o any problems.
