If you are only trying to protect the privacy of the list and not the fact that there is a list involved, check out <http://groups.yahoo.com/>, <http://groups.google.com/> or <http://lists.topica.com/>. For various reasons, I can't really recommend Topica and I have no list management experience with the others. If you are trying to make each recipient's message look like a personal message addressed to the recipient, then perhaps Mailman on your laptop could be a solution, but there are potential stumbling blocks. In your OP, you asked if Mailman can use Gmail's secure SMTP service for outgoing mail. Mailman itself doesn't support SSL and I don't know anything about adding this layer between Mailman and the outside. There is a post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-October/047082.html> that gives a patch for adding user/password smtp authentication to Mailman's outgoing SMTP, but this is not the same thing. Also, there are issues with using a remote outgoing SMTP server "on the road". You will undoubtedly encounter in your travels, public access points that redirect all port 25 (and perhaps secure smtp ports too) connects to their own SMTP server, thus thwarting your attempts to reach your preferred server. Putting your own outgoing SMTP server on your laptop may help, but there are issues like the above here too, as well as issues with the recipient's server possibly not liking the way your server identifies itself or the fact that its claimed identity doesn't match its current IP. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
