Once you step out of the box, you can write a CLIST function. Sadly it appears
that you still need to follow the single load module approach.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
