(When finances permit) I don't blame you. But let me explain what is going on in Mac world. We have also been thinking and searching a good mail package to use in our Mac network connected to Ethernet and Unix machines. I thought also that QuickMail could do the job. However I wanted to be able to connect Mac mail to Unix mail and it wasn't easy to do, yet. But a few weeks ago we got hold on a marvelous package called MacPost. It is a SMTP mail server running on Mac and talking SMTP over TCP to Unix host. So: why I am telling this to PC group? Because I want someone do the same on PC world. I want a same kind of program running on PC. Anyone capable to do that. I Bet. So go ahead and do it... I know I can't but I am sure many would use it if it exists. -- == Harri Valkama ============================================================== | harri.valkama@wmac00.uwasa.fi hv@uwasa.fi hv@flame.uwasa.fi hv@nic.funet.fi | | University of Vaasa, PO BOX 700, 65101 VAASA, Finland (fax: +358 61 248465) | = Moderating at chyde.uwasa.fi (128.214.12.3) & nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) ==
