I didn't follow all your logic in the previous email but overall you'll likely need something like mailman or majordomo plus something like MIMEDefang in front of it to achieve your needs. This begs the question, to all the readers: Given those 2 requirements, and my lack of time to learn/compare Majordomo vs. mailman, which one would you use? -Raymond ps: Anecdote time: back in my MIT days, they had a system called "Blanche" (*) which allowed any user in the university to create her/his own username. It allowed multiple addresses (aka mailing list). IOW: Each mail user address was a 1-person mailing list. I created the address "majord...@mit.edu" and it was the first time that the recently released software was used in the university. It was a rare case in which they pulled it away with no explanations: Writers to that address would receive a bunch of instructions in Spanish, as we were sysadmins for large mailing list (at the time) for Hispanics in the top schools (the only ones to have the luxury of the expensive, NSF funded Internet in those early days). We boasted/bragged of been using 5%-10% of MIT's traffic (informed by the admins who were not exactly thrilled). We even had a Postscript-only, with graphics, pictures and fonts embedded mailing list. Ah, the good ole' days ...
