RUNNING A MAIL SERVER

[TMGB]

I am also running an NT but on an Alpha.  The Email program, PostOffice,  I am
using is also available for Intel NT 4.0 and can be downloaded from
http://www.software.com
They have newer versions one called InterMail but I know the PostOffice
program is free to use for up to about 5 or 10 users and 1 or 2 lists.  It
uses a WEB Interface and I felt it was very user friendly for setup and
maintaining.  I think its only available in POP3.  It looks like I might be in
trouble that they may have stopped supporting the Alpha NT.
