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 at 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!
