I'm trying to understand this problem with the CGI script (other than pooly 
written scripts).  A user fills out a web form.  The form calls a CGI script 
that sends an e-mail (via the mail command) that is processed by the 
ezmlm-sub script.  Isn't this a solution that does not bypass the ezmlm 
closed loop?
