Here is why LSOFT knows so much about UVM's mailing lists: http://www.lsoft.com/lists/lastupd.html
They do indeed have an optional push/pull mechanism to maintain a central database of mailinglists that are operated by their software. One might assume 'wa.exe' is the Windows version of 'wa' that runs under Unix. It looks like they just upgraded from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 a few days ago. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.lsoft.com <http://www.lsoft.com/lists/lastupd.html>Stan On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 11:13 PM, Rion D'Luz <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday 17 August 2010, Rubin Bennett wrote: > > Rion, in your first post, the compatibility for the LSoft listserv lists > > both Linux and Unix.
