I am planning to write a network mail server system that will run on an
IBM PC. It will essentially serve as a store and forward node for other PCs
use for communicating with each other. I would like to get some feel for
how many different kinds of protocol (and what) I will need to support for
this to work reasonably. For instance, if I expect to serve a store and 
forward function for PCs running UNIX I will need to support UUCP. What other
protocols should I know about and support? Any help/comments/suggestions
would be most welcome. Please send Email to ihnp4!hocsd!jis, and I will
summerize the responses on the net.
