34 <PRE>Yes the RFC explicity forbids services /msging users. If your users don't
35 read /msgs then that's their problem. I seem to remember a topic about

54 </I>><i> If I recall correctly (you can search the list archives to
55 </I>><i> verify), an RFC specifies that any automated correspondances should be
