[2nd try] can linux route mail?

[rodney at sabletech.com (Rodney Thayer)]

The Linux boxes at the BCS were being re-organized over this past week and 
seem to be back on-line now.

In theory there's a list archive so we could go back and check the traffic.

Is there in practice a list archive?  JABR?  Did you say at one of the 
volunteer meetings that you had that set up?
