If you forward a message from Pegasus Mail and DISABLE the "Edit the message
before forwarding" option, WinPMail will add the required "Resent" headers
to the forwarded message without modifying the rest of the headers.  Note
that you cannot use WinPMail's mail filter rules to automatically forward
mail in this way as the message headers are rewritten in this case.  Instead,
you have to manually forward the messages to a distribution list you've set
up.
 
Alternatively, if you have access to a NetWare file server, you can use the
Mercury SMTP gateway for NetWare to provide automated mailing list features.
 
There is also a beta version of the new Mercury/32 SMTP gateway for
Win95/WinNT, which will allow for automated mailing lists.  I recommend this
method if you do not have access to a NetWare file server.
 
You can get Mercury/32 (M32-099.ZIP) and Mercury/NetWare (MERC130.ZIP) from
