LISTSERV might support  BSMTP in a future release, but  right now it doesn't.
However, only  three of the  41 servers have  a release <  1.5, so it  means we
have 38 servers that know about DISTRIBUTE.
 
  Now  it would  take from  5 to  15 minutes  to write  an exec  which takes  a
BSMTP job as input  and creates a LISTSERV DISTRIBUTE job  as output. The gate-
way then  sends the thing  to LISTSERV@nearestnodetoWISCVMwhichhasaFRECP11-LIST
SERV, and  it gets distributed  with acceptable  efficiency in the  states, and
excellent efficiency  in Europe  since we  *do* have servers  at the  hub nodes
unlike the  USA. This  would probably  divide the  load by  5 for  the european
recipients. It's  easy to install, easy  to use, efficient, transparent  to the
user, etc.  The file would  have to be  distributed as a  FILE and NOT  as MAIL
since  ARPA-mail headers  usually  cause  the Crosswell  MAILER  to choke,  but
what the  heck? LISTSERV would just  add a blank line  on top of the  mail item
and that's all. Who's the WISCVM gateway contact?
