We are thinking about putting Microsoft Mail on a Macintosh Phonenet lan that is gatewayed to a corporate lan carrying SMTP hosts. What is the simplest way to allow a gateway so that we can exchange mail with the SMTP community on the backbone? (I already have MacPost working on the system, so the connectivity is not an issue.) Thanks. John McHarry McHarry@MITRE.org

Try GatorMail from cayman (info@cayman.com), I'm not sure I would call it simple, because very little in internetworking is, but it works well, and they have a tremendous customer service organization to help you through things. We use it extensively. One nice feature is you can use the Microsoft Mail document attachment capability and SMTP between two gators at each end of the Internet and it works. This is a nice feature if you don't want to ante up to do Wide Area AppleTalk Networking (WAAN).

It provides for both incoming and outgoing SMTP and is specifically designed to interface with Microsoft Mail. From playing with the admin screens once it looks like a breeze to set up. -Mike
