        Anyone have any information on how I start an SMTP server on a microexplorer so
        that our VAX will deliver mail to me correctly?  (Or isn't this even possible???).
    
    There is an SMTP server (function: MAIL::SMTP-MAIL-SERVER) in 
    
        "SYS:MAIL-DAEMON; SERVER.LISP#>"

Yes, but you shouldn't have to do anything special to start it.  Try
telnetting to port 25 on your microExplorer from someplace handy (on
Unix, do "telnet <host> 25";  on any Explorer, type "<host>/25" at the
Telnet or VT100 host prompt).  You should see the response "220 <host>
service ready".  If so, the problem is not with your SMTP server.

Now, I could be wrong -- islington-terrace is an Explorer 2, not a
microExplorer -- but I don't think our microExplorer users had to do
anything special, either.
