[comp.dcom.lans] cc:Mail to SMTP

delong@frith.egr.msu.edu (02/24/90)

Is anyone aware of a cc:Mail to SMTP "gateway"?  I had read in an
anonymous FTP listing that one or two places had one.  I searched
through those systems and couldn't find anything.  Help.

Thanks,

I was told some time ago that there was one.  It required 2 pcs to be
dedicated gateways, and I don't think it was really available yet.
Call them and ask for Dick Kirsh, if you want more info.

I opted for the uucp gateway and that works quite nicely.  You have
a unix machine recieve the smtp mail and forward it uucp into the
gateway pc.  Since the Unix machine was there already, it only required
one pc to be LAN attached (to talk to the Novell Server) and serially
connected to the Unix machine.  Simple and working today.

Al Marshall at Proteon wrote a cc:Mail-SMTP gateway.  It is available from
monk.proteon.com.  It uses FTP Software's PC/TCP to do the SMTP stuff.  I
got it & just recently hacked it to use 1 pc and NFS mount a Unix host that
has all the mail in one file (we had to hack up a mailer on the SMTP side).
It should be possible to run desqview and fit all of the original code on
one PC, but I never really tried it.
