Thanks, this sounds like a start, the only question is do I have to have root capabilities to implement this? Do you know of a LISTSERV site I might contact? *** It sounds like you would need only your own account for email access, though the amount of traffic may attract your sysop's attention :-). Or, to leave the programming running "resident", you may require root priviledges after all. If there are hooks in the listserv source code allowing it to fire whenever a new message comes in, you wouldn't. I'm sorry, it's really late -- I'm trying to say that you probably won't need root priviledges to set up the remailer if you could have a daemon-like software agent waiting for the mail to come in. There, that wasn't so hard! <YAWN> I know that in the UNIX world, users have set up remailers in Netcom accounts and university accounts without root priviledges. For a complete list of publically accessible mailing lists, which includes LISTSERV's, look in the newsgroup news.answers and find the eight-part posting entitled something like "Guide to Publically Accessible Mailing Lists". I used the search term "Mailing List" and found it after a few tries. If you don't have access to Netnews, mail me and I'll get them for you. One LISTSERV location I know of is news-admin@auvm.american.edu. Yeah, it's an Internet address, but there should be a human on the other end. I wish I could help technically, but I hope this information gets you started on a successful project. Don't hesitate to ask if you think I could help out. g'night! Curt
