- Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. However, my request was a little bit
- more simpler than a "listserver" type of service. I wanted to be able to define
- a list, say "thor- friends" of about 75-150 users and be able to send mail to
- "thor- friends" so that each person on the list would get the message. This is
- easy to do with elm, so I thought that perhaps there might be a way with THOR.
- I noticed that in the user database, you can add an alias to the users so that
- if they are the same, you could theoretically accomplish this. Would this work
- or is there some limitation in THOR that would stop it?
-
- Thanks very much for your time...
