What if the moderator of record is not a sysop?

I have used Bash in a previous incarnation, but have lost all
familiarity with it as the decades have passed me by.  BUT, if my 4NT
command files would help to give you a template, I would be willing to
share them with you privately.  They may well not be relevant since
a. You probably do not use the same email processor I use (Eudora) and
b. They are designed to operate my BBS and not an Elist.

Let me know one way or the other.
