Lurker is not designed to handle your email, it's simply an archiving
software. You run the mailinglists independent of lurker. All you need
to do is to deliver a copy of every message sent to the mailinglists to
lurker, so that it can be archived.
Maybe it's easier for you to think of lurker as a subscriber of your
mailinglists, just as every human subscribed to them.
Mailinglists work the way that every subscribed adress gets a copy of
the mail sent to the list. And lurker is just one of them.
The only difference is, that lurker is not a human reading the mail,
but rather a mail archiving software which archives all received mails
and provides them in through a webserver.

For sure, you can. If you don't know how to setup a mailinglist, you
should rather ask for help on a more appropriate mailinglist. What
software do you intend to use for managing mailinglists? mailman, sympa,
majordomo, ezmlm, or another one?
Once you setup your mailinglist to work properly - in a way that every
subscribed email adress receives mails to the list - you can bother
about the archives. And that's the point where lurker becomes interesting
for you ;-)
greetings,
jonas
