Rod Troch brought up some questions about the cc:Mail link to SMTP.  I
forwarded his questions to developer Richard Kinoshita.  Here are his
responses.

Randy,
   Not Bitnet listserve, but it will work with Usenet messages.

>Does the cc:Mail link program have this ability?  Is it able to
>forward a cc:Mail users mail to an internet address?  Can you create

Yes, forwarding is done by making a user remote with the SMTPlink post
office as their address.  Then you can put an Alias address in for them with
the SMTPADMN program.

>mailing lists with internet address (other than wasting a cc:Mail box
>for that address)?

Yes, with the above Alias feature.  I'm not sure what he meant by "wasting"
a cc:Mail box since "r"'s don't use one of your boxes.  Since users can't
put names in the directory yet (and this is a yet) there isn't any way
around it.
