- For your situation I would recommend QuickMail 2.5.1. Pluses: QM will
- run on the AppleShare Server (better check version 3 of AppleShare; useses
- MailLink from StarNine for SMTP support (avoid the version of the same
- repackaged by Cayman Systems as GatorMail Q as GM-Q is slow to be upgraded.)
-
- I am doing this currently; I also researched and/or used other Mail
- systems including a Pop3 Server with Eudora (which is a good way to go
- if the Unix box was your mail server but it's not) and CC:mail.
