- Dear Networkers,
-
- At this moment I'm working on a project. The purpose of this project is to give
- all university students the ability to mail (we are currently using PMail on
- a limited scale) to each other and to their professorss. We are using Novell
- network software. This email feature will be part of an integreted workplace
- (using Windows as user interface). So I'm looking for people (students,
- network specialist, etc) who have had experience with a similar project.
- I would like to discuss:
-
- - Should students be able to access Internet (especially ftp)
- - What software could be used (NCSA, Trumpet, Pmail, etc)
- - How to inforce certain rules (Nettiquette, rules of communication,
- which sanctions should be used if students misbehave.
- - Each student has an account on the Novell server and a limited disk
- space for him/herself (about 300Kb). This disk space could be used
- to store the mailbox, or the mailbox could be copied to diskette.
- We expect the students to be rather casual about cleaning their mailboxes
- frequently, so when they have reached their disk quota what should
- happen to new mail. Major concern is that this mail could contain
- valuable information for this student.
- - Professors will send mail to many students and vice versa: what is the
- best way for them to reduce the time that is necessary to read all mail
- (we would like to avoid that the professors spent too much time reading
- the students mail).
- - Security problems in relation to this project.
- - Any other problem that I didn't mention here but relates to this
- project.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Rutger van de GeVEL
