I'll own up to writing the client, and my address is  
Jim.Matthews@dartmouth.edu (any person at Dartmouth has a similar e-mail  
address, and that's one thing that makes BlitzMail very nice).

BlitzMail isn't experimental (it's been in wide use here since 1988) but  
it requires a lot more than a name and address file as a server.  Our  
current server setup is 7 NeXTstations with 9Gb of disk space, plus a Sun  
4/280 to handle bulletin-board functions.  That handles a community of  
over 11,000 users, roughly half of whom will sign in on an average day.

We are interested in exporting the BlitzMail system to other sites, but  
it's going to be a big job at first.  If you're a Mac-intensive site with  
an AppleTalk/TCP network, a patient sysadmin, and users eager for friendly  
e-mail then we'd like to talk to you.
