OK we've recently updated our support with L-Soft and I'm in the process of 
getting a system ready for running 14.5 but in the meantime I was wondering 
what are the qualifications for backbone anymore?  Add to that what sort of 
exceptions are made?  The documentation is a bit conflicting but AFAICT 
sites with unlimited (UNITS=0) or sites with UNITS >= 30 or DIST only sites 
are the only ones that qualify, except exceptions.

We (MODWEST) don't have a lot of lists however, we've four of those with 
20k+ (one of which is 90k+).  None of them are super busy, they're one-way 
announce/newsletters.

So really my question is, do we qualify for an exception, and even if we 
do, would it be a good idea?  I've heard a number of complaints about the 
amount of SPAM jobs that come out but I'm not really worried about that 
(they'd probably help more than hurt our server).

TIA
