Well, someone would have to provide a mail server facility (I have that available), but more importantly someone would have to detail "cabal membership", which is probably not a good idea. If There Is No CLUG, There Can't Be A Cabal Either (ITINCTCBACE). If you have open membership from everyone, you eventually get misuse. I don't want to have to tidy up from that! Plus you have to automate it or else it's a chore for the administrator. If you have closed membership, who decides who gets left out in the cold? *If* there were a more concrete definition of "CLUG membership" it would be easy ... but that's dangerously close to "incorporation", which is not going to be successful in a "somewhat political ginger-group cum social club for techo-geek nerds" :-) So, technically it's easy to set up. In practice it could be a pain to administer, and politically I expect wouldn't be that much fun either. That's my opinion, so I don't think I'll offer my services there, but someone else may not feel as negative ... :-) All you have to do is convince Cabal Member Rout to put an MX record into the domains ... -jim
