Hi Scott...

There will be a point where I'll need more people to help with the testing, just not quite there yet.  However, I'll keep you in mind.

I've paused development on ViaMail! for a few of days (no more than a couple of weeks) to write a EList type program which will allow real-time changes to the various NA/NO files.  It will act just like a Mailer with FREQ capabilities using Binkp only without the mail processing side.  A user will compose a specially formatted netmail message (similar to AreaFix) to make changes, request files etc.

Thanks,

Joe Martin
