Message-ID: Date: 28 Dec 90 03:22:31 GMT Reply-To: kutcha@clotho.acm.rpi.edu (Phillip Rzewski) Organization: The Voice of Fate Lines: 26 Originator: kutcha@acm.rpi.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: acm.rpi.edu I have been looking to open a mail server for quite some time and as much as I have tried to do it the hard way I have come up empty thus far. First I attempted to read some manuals that might give me the tools I need to write my own, but I lack the time and raw Unix experience with mail and the like to make it all come together. I got someone else's homemade server software, but it was sparsely documented and he admitted right out that it was in sore need of a rewrite. I even bought more manuals to read to try and figure out what he did so I could build on it. But even with all these attempts I am still in great danger of coming up empty by the date that I need this server to be working by. So now I look to comp.unix.questions to see if anyone would happen to know of a decent mail server program that has good documentation, is flexible, and can be friendly. I am working on a series of AT&T 3B2 machines, each running SysVR2 or R3. We have sh, ksh, csh, and bash available on all of them. Please respond by mail if at all possible. I apologize if I posted this to the wrong place, but having read the little "intro guide" I saw nothing that indicated that this was a bad question to ask around here. Thanks in advance. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + -Phil Andrew Haldryan Rzewski Internet: kutcha@clotho.acm.rpi.edu + + "I fileted them and ate them."
