Hi Jonas,

Thanks for giving me a bit more detail on Lurker.  It was my thought 
that Lurker was also a mail-list program.  I really don't need a 
mail-list at all, just the archiving abilities that Lurker offers.

What I am hoping to do is use Lurker to archive messages going across 
our groupware system which is Novell Groupwise 6.0.  It sounds as if all 
I need to do is find a way to copy both external and internal mail so 
that messages also gets sent to Lurker.
