The only downside I see is that for each message you'd need to start up a database connection, or you'd have to have a separate process to handle the database connection and would entail making some type of RPC call which isn't much better. > So... who wants to throw some code together real quick?

Mailman is written in the much more fun Python (although I wouldn't dare to say that Python is funner to look at than your "grrly"). Michael W.
