   for GIGO, there's something in the GIGOTCP or TCPGIGO package... its name is   
   something like that... OS/2 native, though, AFAIR... simply puts all the posts   
   into BAG files which GIGO chews on...

   not "you" but the server that is connecting... it has to check if the   
   connecting server is really who it says it is...

   i receive mailing lists that operate both ways... on some i get the list mail   
   as if the original user sent it direct and on others it is from the list...   
      
   anyway, i gotta let this stack of mail get exported for processing and   
   propogation...
