| (...) Majordomo can be set up this way. By definition, any decent list server must be as good as Majordomo. Huh. You're proposing that people who want to read/post on LUGnet but not via e-mail would be set up as able to post, but not actually be on (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

Theoretically, it's possible to include any other mailing list in the distribution list of e-mail addresses for any lugnet.* group. And conversely, any other mailing list can (...)

Does it follow that if on any given day there are 32 messages posted to the lugnet.general group, all the group's email subscribers would (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
