- VIEW Mailer
- An Introduction
-
- View is a PC based electronic mail system. View can operate with
- a stand-alone PC(view.exe), or as part of a novell
- network(lan_view.exe).
-
- In stand-alone mode (VIEW.EXE), you must have a KA9Q TCP/IP SMTP
- server running. Amateur radio operators running TCP/IP over
- radio may already be familar with KA9Q NOS. NOS is stored on
- THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM NOS was written by Phil Karn, KA9Q.
-
- The network version of View runs much differently. This version
- has been compiled with a novell library. This allows View to use
- the network functions of novell. If you are running View on a
- network, an utility machine must be setup. The utility machine
- runs POSTMAN. In the 'real' world, if the postman is not
- working, then no mail is delivered. This is the same for the
- View mailer. POSTMAN delivers the mail from user to user. The
- POSTMAN can handle up to 8 servers. If you have a gateway
- machine running KA9Q NOS, the postman will send and receive
- Internet mail onto the novell network.
