Dear all,
we have our email working nicely currently, coming in and out. I still
need to setup smapd or some such to wrap around sendmail however, but that's
another story.
A complication in our particular setup is the existance of a fair sized
network of PCs, which run Netware (3.1 I think) and WfWg. The mailtool used
on those is cc:Mail.
What I was hoping to achieve was to use the cc:Mail to view the mail which
would be stored on a Solaris mail server somewhere. The mail is already setup
for the Sun network just fine.
Seemingly cc:Mail doesn't talk SMTP directly; we need a gateway of some sort.
That's doesn't feel brilliant to me, as it seems that we'd end up with mail
files distributed in different places, and have more than one email address
per user (I think?). Another option is to run Solaris cc:Mail and have that
connecting to the cc:Mail post office, and then the cc:Mail/SMTP gateway
connecting to the outside world. I have mixed feelings about this; all this
is behind a firewall, and I have a nasty feeling I could end up out of control
somewhere.
Anyone any experience of doing this sort of thing, or got any comments ?
