Under unix, lsv_amin is a "bridge" program that is called by 
sendmail, via an entry in /etc/aliases, for each individual inbound 
mail piece.  That makes it possible to pipe mail for LISTSERV to the 
lsv_amin program.

Under Windows, lsv_amin isn't used.  The SMTPL.EXE "listener" service 
performs both the inbound mail function and the "bridge" to LISTSERV 
all in one package, and it runs in the background as a service.  You 
can't pipe mail to SMTPL.EXE, so you're typically left with using 
Blat (or a similar SMTP file sending program) to send the mail via SMTP.
