Manfredo,
In lieu of V-Mail, you could try WFS. It also Mailing List Server support.
It partially solves the multiple addressee problem, limited to 128 characters
per addressee line; this is an MS-DOS limitation.

WFS does not echo JOIN or other commands to users of the list.

WFS is available by sending mail to: server@Birdsong.Suvl.CA.US
with the message body:

get \public\waffle\wfs203.zip

Regards,
  larry.
