Then, probably... I wonder if the maintainers of lists.debian.org would consider running INND and converting the lists to newsgroups. There are tools to translate newsgroups to/from mailing lists for those who want that, and you can also access them directly with a newsreader if you wish. It's not really common, but it's not unusual for sites that have a lot of mailing lists to run a news server in this way, and I'm sure some of the software for it is already part of Debian. --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Those are my principles.
