[NCLUG] OS Communication Proxy

[Neil Neely]

That is a neat idea.  I've never encountered anything quite like that, 
but I understand the need.

Rather than start from scratch you might consider extending MailMan 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html)
It's written in Python and is fairly legible.  It is just the email 
portion, but it's a start.
