First of all, your message was inappropriate for comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d.
Topics such as this one belong in comp.os.msdos.apps; please help keep
c.b.i.p.d on-topic by not posting inappropriate messages here.

Second of all, Waffle is quite a fine program for this application.
Waffle has extensive (comparable to smail 2.5) mail-routing capabilities,
as well as the ability to handle batched news and 12-bit compressed
batches.  The most recent version of Waffle is v1.62, although v1.63
is due out soon.  You can obtain Waffle from wuarchive.wustl.edu:
/mirrors/msdos/bbs/waf162.zip.
