Good idea. But I guess that raises the question..."Anyone know of any
list-servs that accept RSS feeds?" ;O)

We're planning on doing RSS feeds at somepoint as well, but I'm not sure if
going from RSS -> list serv would be a whole lot less work then just
triggering both an RSS feed update + a notice to the list-serv, would it?

I imagine for RSS -> list-serv, I'd need a list-serv that is also watching
the feeds for updates. I suppose we could develop an middle-man app that
does just that...watches for the feed updates, and then sends them to the
list-serv.

I guess my main question is if it makes sense for us to worry about actually
integrating the list-serv with the CMS, or just 'interface' with the CMS by
writing our own scripts that send of command emails to the list-serv?

At first, integration seemed preferable, but the more I think about it, I'm
not sure if we need true integration but rather just communication.
