We are running the latest version of Sendmail commercial version (Sendmail 
Switch) and both Listserv and sendmail are running on the same box.
Listserv passes delivery to the sendmail application for delivery to all 
subscribers.
We have configured the Listserv go.user to use the SMTP_FORWARD to the 
sendmail application on the server.
We are not using BSMTP.

Thanks,
Nick
