I'm pretty sure Michael uses iMS mail server software, which uses ColdFusion, etc, to do the basics. We use iMS, www.coolfusion.com , too. Pretty neat way to do mail. We developed broadcast and discussion CF list apps. (Too crude to share.) I think Cool Fusion's Free FusionMail2 (a CF app) comes with a discussion list feature. That might help you see how to do a broadcast list server. The archives to the iMS list have lots of discussion on bouncing mail, etc. iMS is used to drive some very large lists.
