Pete was suggesting the use of a  DISTRIBUTE job, which won't show a huge
"To:" field but put only one address in it. You can even hide the name of
the recipient  completely if  you specify "BSMTP"  instead of  their real
name in the //TO DD * list.
 
The file suggestion  will work for non-BITNET recipients,  but may create
problems for users  who do have the ability to  receive files. Non-BITNET
users  can  deliver  files  via  BITNET through  a  DISTRIBUTE  job.  For
instance, if a BITNET user requests  a file via GET from LISTSERV-TCP/IP,
it will deliver it via NJE through a DISTRIBUTE job to a LISTSERV sitting
on both networks.
