   I guess you will want to have a script for OUTgoing mail which
inserts an "X-Command:" header which is being processed by the list
server, right?

   It does not need to be written in REXX, it can be any language.
The OS/2 version just mentions REXX, because under OS/2, REXX was and
is the main language for scripting, being supported by many programms
which are batch-programmable by offering their services as REXX
commands (or functions) to any REXX programm (PMMail doesn't). 

   I think good alternatives are PERL on the one hand (available both
on OS/2 and Win32) or Pascal, i.e. in the form of Delphi for WIN (and
Kylix for Linux) and Sybil on OS/2.
