- Yes there are two solutions that I know of:
- Buy WP Office for Unix (I think this only runs on a SCO box), this
- product has a built in SMTP gateway. And administer another WPO host.
-
- Buy iGate, this is a comercial SMTP to WP Office gateway.
- It is relativly easy to install and integrates well with WPO. It
- requires a WPO Connection server (If you have more than one WPO host you
- will be running this allready, plus a dedicated PC running the SMTP
- software.
-
- For further information on iGate you can mail smart@actrix.gen.nz
