Is this a possible "switch" in a newer version?  The discussion we've 
been having locally is that mailing lists are very intensive in terms of 
support resources, which we are very short of.  We have discussed 
offering news groups and pine's distribution list capability as alternatives.

Perhaps someone can request the csuite people to consider this an 
optional configuration for their future releases, although I would hope 
they are doing that already. Up to now, csuite was meant for Halifax 
alone and was adopted by others. The next major upgrade is intended for 
multiple site installations.
