Hiya's,
The following is what I'd consider a mail utopia for a local system.
The system consists of 1 Alpha box running digital unix 3.2d-1, which is
connecting to the internet via a dial-up slip line. Then there are a few
windows '95 boxes and a VMS box.
At the moment I've set up a proxy www server on the unix box so that
users can www from their windows boxes. Now I'd like to do the same with
mail ! I can't for the life of me find a pop server that will run on the
unix box.
Questions
1 - where does such a pop mail server exist ?
2 - would it be possible for users to send mail from their machines, and
actually receive mail back to themselves ?!? ie, there is only one
dial-up account, but could I set up some or other "virtual users" in the
pop server ?
3 - would the windows users be able to send messages onto the net, as
well as send messages locally to users on the system (sendmail) ?
4 - is there any way to allow the vms users to send and receive in a
similiar manner ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure that this would
be of interest to many people - so will summarise.
- Carl
