Hi,

Recently, I asked:

> I would like to create corporate wide mail aliases for my company, like
> all@corp.com, all-eng@corp.com, etc ... but I would like to restrict
> what users can use them. I don't want just anyone to be able to send mail
> to all@corp.com, for example.

> Thanks !!

Well I got a few responses back, and some "me too's" as well.

What I gathered from the responses is that I should persue MajorDomo and
ListProcessor.

Majordomo is available, according to the O'Reilly sendmail book at
ftp.GreatCircle.com in the file /pub/majordomo.tar.Z. ListProcessor is available
at cs.bu.edu in the directory /pub/listserv.

Thanks !!
