This is difficult to do for various reasons. The main issue is gating to news is asynchronously done by a separate process. Even if the process could reliably determine that another gatewayed list in the installation was a recipient of this post which it could only do by examining explicit addressees and the other list might be a Bcc:, we'd still have to arbitrate somehow which post gets gatewayed to the multiple news groups and which ones get dropped. Although I suppose we could send each one for all the news groups and let the news server figure it out. Anyway, I don't plan to try this. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
