- What mail package's are you using?
- Some, most? of the comercial Mail packages have SMTP gateways that mean you
- don't need the complication of a MHS hub, but then you will usly be running
- their version of a HUB.
- I guess the expensive options would be to use:
-
- MS-Mail (There has been talk about inadequacies of their SMTP gateway)
-
- CC: Mail (Lotus have a SMTP gateway of rthis but it's V.Expensive)
-
- WPOffice They currently don't produce a PC SMTP gateway but there are 3rd
- party options available. (Email me for more info on this one)
-
- The PD or cheap option would be:
- PMAIL which I think only needs a charon box.
- or other options like POP etc..
-
- Hope this helps
