There is no support for detecting mailing loops or administrative messages sent to the list. The package runs on DOS, a plus if you don't want to learn a new OS -- though setting up KA9Q may be a rude shock if you're new to it. There are some very rough spots due to its dependence on DOS and KA9Q -- for example, in this version, subscribe and unsubscribe commands cause the program to exit KA9Q (closing down all network services), run an alias-updater from DOS, and then return to KA9Q. This is a consequence of Smof's design for a dial-up, pay-by-the-minute IP environment. Because the package is still in beta test, Tim is distributing it for free. He writes that when he is satisfied with it, he will release it as shareware, probably for US$30. Get the latest version at <ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/listutils/>.
