WHat happened to the suggestion to make some mods to make groups
like mail.guitar possible? The idea was that each machine should have
a mailbox called something meaningful, and the body of any mail to that
box be sent through rnews. I don't think you'ld even have to add any
software... even sites without sendmail could run a daemon each night
to pick up new mailnews. You just wouldn't pass mail.* on to anyone.
Or maybe you would... just don't make it global.  For followups you just
have to put in the right moderator.

I think I'm up to writing the daemon...
