- If anyone has gone the MS-MAIL with SMTP gateway route, I'd be
- interested in your experiences so far. Especially...
-
- 1) How hard it is to get/keep the gateway configured?
- 2) Do MS-Mail postoffices require an additional and expensive
- "downstream" module to route or send SMTP mail to the gateway
- or to translate MS-Mail to Internet style addresses? A Microsoft
- rep has claimed the SMTP gateway package is all we need.
- 3) MS-DOS is single tasking, I assume one SMTP connection at a time?
- Does this create real problems? What are they?
- 4) Any problem with the gateway wedging up? If so, any workarounds?
- 5) Can you have multiple SMTP gateways on one LOCAL Area Network?
- 6) Can you have multiple SMTP gateways on one WIDE Area Network?
- 7) If yes to 5 or 6, how do you route mail to the correct gateway?
-
- Any answers would be most appreciated. Please don't recommend
- another package, getting a new job or suicide. (-8 I'm stuck with
- MS-MAIL and I'm trying to get a handle on what I have in store...
- Thanks!
- - Mike
