Interesting thing to advocate on a high volume mailing list of (almost entirely) legitmate mail. Of course the figures you propose would probably be affordable by SLUG and similar organisations, but not by all providers of community mailing lists. Of course, with major email providers beginning to shift to blocking *all* list mail by default unless specifically whitelisted, the burden of running or belonging to a mailing list may soon be too high to justify. Pity. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
