You might check the developer guide that's on L-Soft's web site for
information. By the way, I don't see what value the Listerv API would have
in your project. You could easily write a script that generates an email
and forwards it to your list(s) of choice. As long as your script forms
proper email headings, Listserv will treat it like any other email.
