Egads, John, I should hope that he's planning to run his own copy 
rather than use a hosted solution. (Don't get me wrong, hosted 
solutions are great for large, bureaucratic, mostly clueless 
organizations. American Express, Southwest Airlines, Al Qaeda, 
whoops, didn't mean that last one. Hang on a sec, there's a knock at 
the door, BRB...)

If you're running your own copy of Lyris, setting up the custom To: 
line as Bill suggests (or, to put blame where blame is due, as Bill's 
Management(tm) suggests) is pretty trivial.  So yeah, a week's 
configuration if you go to a hosting site. Say, come to think of it, 
I'm a hosting site (of sorts), if someone is willing to pay $5000 
plus a week's configuration work, *I'll* host the damned list. ;-) [1]

[1] Just a joke. I don't actually host commercial lists. Unless, of 
course, you're serious about writing a check ... ;-)
