- I don't know if it is corect that "BULLETIN requires the message be
- addressed to the user or it will not extract it from the mail file" but
- I use the simpler mechanism of a bulletin channel to feed mail for a
- pseudo user on our vax directly into a bulletin folder via the pmdf
- alias file. Details on request [but documented in the Bulletin files].
