*grins*

  I wonder if my signature would pass the test ;-)

  I will likely want some advise on Majordomo.  My impresion is that if I 
offered MailMan lists, that many list managers would move over as it (and 
the web-based interface) are now more common.  I could be totally wrong, 
which is partly why I'm opening the discussion.

  I also don't have a timeline.   Other issues such as paying customers 
and Open Source advocacy (GOSLINGS/etc) have a higher priority than 
FLORA.org work at the moment.

  Nop, installing rules like that wouldn't be offered - unless/until there 
is a tool, procmail can't be offered.  I'm over-spent at the moment as it 
is..
