Many of our users are subscribing to mailing lists, and in order to avoid
duplication ie: more than 1 user subscribing to the same list; I would like
to set up a type of 'Mail server' to run locally on our Vax , to which
the local users would subscribe. This 'mail server' would then check to
see if the mailing list was already being subscribed to, and if so would
add the user to a list kept locally. If not , it should then subscribe
to the list. It should be as 'automated' as possible.

	I have envisaged using the 'Deliver package' (part of PMDF), but
if anyone has any other suggestions, I would welcome them. We are using
Pmdf to send/receive external email, on our Vax8530 with VMS 5.3-1.

	Thanks

	Denis
