  19. According to MS, you will need one of their (not well described) gateway
  20. products.  I asked the WFW product manager essentially the same question,
  21. and got a breezy answer about an undescribed gateway product, which would
  22. use your internet mail host as a post office.  Oh yeah, those gateways
  23. are not on the market yet.  :(
