I may have an answer for this issue.  You can set up a free e-mail 
account at http://www. usa.net and by using the forwarding feature, have 
mail from the Mustang Listserver forwarded to your SMTP acount.  The mai 
goes from the Listserver to the usa.net accouint and then to the SMTP 
account.  The SMTP account sees the incoming mail as regular internet 
mail from the usa.net account and not as news server stuff.  Of course 
this requires minimum one time internet access to set up the e-mail 
account and the fowarding.  If you truly don't have internet access from 
anywhere perhaps a friend can set your usa.net account up.  Some 
librarys also have PS'c with internet access for public use.

You may note that this is coming from a Hotmail account which is another 
free e-mail service.  I use both usa.net and Hotmail.  Usa.net does any 
forwarding I need while Hotmail is my promary e-mail accout, primarily 
due to its better interface.

Hope this helps.
