I have been doing some testing with the list processor on SCO UNIX and it
seems to satisfy most of my requirements on first glance.  It works a lot like
a listserv on bitnet in functionality.  I would have a go at configuring mmdf
on SCO UNIX first before moving to another piece of software.  As for the
news, I have just received a copy of nntp but have not looked at it yet. 
Comments forthwith when I have had a chance to look in the next couple of days
