You may want to pose this question on the HiEd-EmailAdmin list. The list exists
to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of email administration in
higher education.

The list archives <http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/hied-emailadmin.html> are
available to the public, however, you must subscribe to the list in order to
post to the list.
