Gene Spafford has a point -- it's not all that cheap to call UDel-Relay
or Rand-Relay for all your mail.  However, I'd like to point out that
you don't *need* to call one of those relays to talk to another CSNet
site.  All you really need is to set things up with the other system to
call them directly.  With MMDF II, this should become simpler (that's
assuming that MMDF II makes it out to/of beta test).  Currently your
CPU time spent delivering mail will go up ridiculously for each site
you add.
