A common complaint (here too) is their mailer. Suggestion: Do what we did, scrap their mailer and try the Software Tools stuff. It requires a little more work but you end up with a mailer with sources to add whatever little smarts you need, it is SMTP so it talks to anything else that is SMTP, you just provide a 'channel' for it. Here at BU it also talks to itself over DecNet links in some of the science department's lans. Don't get ruffled, 99.9% of what you needed to buy was their TCP/IP+device support. Throwing out their mailer shouldn't bother you. -Barry Shein, Boston University
