Of course you can. I run about 40 mailing lists here at Smof, and it
dials up twice a day. Running like this helps prevent flame wars
breaking out, since people know they have 12 hours to reply to
anything, and won't see any other replies for 12 hours. Life is a bit
slower.

SmofList, which runs under DOS, and may not be compatible with Agent,
is available from ftp.demon.co.uk /pub/ibmpc/listutils/smls_11a.zip

About 185k. Shareware, UKL20. The archive server is broken, but I
have a replacement available.

Hope this helps,

Tim
