Notes and Details for NT SMTP Gateway Setup:

1. You need to upgrade the NT postoffice using Microsoft's 
"PostOffice Upgrade for Microsoft Windows for Workgroups"
Part No. 0684499V320. Available from Datacomm Warehouse for about $340.
This includes mail remote and AT+T mail connection as well.

You want to be carefull when doing the upgrade to make sure that
the Postoffice name and other details are what you want, the default
values are probably no good.

Also, you need to make sure your netowrk name is less than 9 characters.
My original domain name was FROSTBITE-FALLS and this just didn't work.

2. Once you've upgraded the postoffice, you then simply run the install.exe
that came with the gateway. This installs the services and sets up a
couple of config files under \WGPO\smtp. The config files are explained
in the readme with the gateway.

3. After installing the gateway, you need to start the SMTP gateway 
service under the control panel->services setup. If you want logging
set the startup parameters to something like -Ci -Lacsya -MR -MS.
This will give you lots of nice logging.

4. To send mail out to the great information cowpath (aka internet), you
will need to add an address in your own address book. Click on the
card file, then select SMTP. this will allow you to enter an alias and
an internet style address.

5. To do any postoffice administration, you will need a DOS !! machine
that has the postoffice drive connected as m:, with another network drive
connected to the postoffice as well. You HAVE to run the admin.exe from a
DOS machine, you can't run it under NT DOS shell, nor can you use the
Postoffice manager that is under the mail menu. 

Good luck if anyone else out there wants to give it a try, and thanks again
to everyone for the help.

I forgot one thing... It "leaks" memory and you will have to stop and restart
it, probably once a day. The best way to do that is with an "at" job.

ie, at ~~~~~ net stop "smtp gateway"
    at ~~~~~ net start "smtp gateway"
