+## Limitations
+
+This library is designed to only work with lists stored on disk (the
+default), not the SQL backends.
+
+Address space (32 bit vs 64 bit) matters when ezmlm calculates hashes.
+If things aren't adding up, make sure this library is running on a
+machine with a matching address space as the list itself.  (Running this
+on a 64bit machine to talk to 32bit listserv isn't going to play well.)
+
+The option set offered with ezmlm-make is not fully ported, just the
+most common switches.  Patches welcome.
