Good idea, but I think linking it to the INTERNET option is too strong. My mailer doesn't yet understand at-addresses, but I \do/ maintain routing tables and make them available to my users. I would rather have it that the option would be to specify a particular command to be run to convert and install the moderators file. In most cases, I suspect a simple shell script would be sufficient; the default could be "cat" or some such. -- -- Greg Noel, NCR Rancho Bernardo Greg@ncr-sd.UUCP or Greg@nosc.ARPA
