[HECnet] Mail gateway?

Can this list support more than one email address? I am tempted to register
my decnet.org address so emails to this list go to my emulated 780 as well.
It has made me setup a proper user account on it now (rather than just use
"system"), so if you like you can reach me on rob at vax780.decnet.org. No
guarantees that I will read it that often though, unless the critical mass
is reached.... :-)

Really though we should run this list on HECnet itself :-) Is there any list
software that runs on VMS? I guess it wouldn't help for recruiting new
people though if the list was off the internet though.

Regards

Rob

  That is very cool.   I didn't know about it either.   I'm gonna start
using it, I
think.   Bob, thank you for running it, and please don't shut it down! :)

Oooh, didn't know about that. I tried sending myself an email to
HECnet
and it
worked perfectly. I have just tried a reply but nothing has come
through
yet.

  Yes, LEGATO is running one.   You can send mail to
"user at node.decnet.org",
where "user" and "node" are your HECnet node name and your local
user name.

  I've been tempted to kill it - it spends most of its time
processing
SPAM
- but for the moment it's still working.
