re: EIMS and SIMS for mail...

Yup, sorry I didn't get into details about the networking part. For good 
sized traffic or real e-mail distribution stuff, it's best to hand off 
the details to a ready-made network app.

We have customers that send out BIG broadcasts and they prefer to rely on 
EIMS or SIMS for delivery, knowing that they created a single text file 
with all the address and message information. Leave the actual message 
management and delivery to EIMS.
