In a month or so (whenever my visa comes through) I'm moving to
Japan to a company that has no external e-mail capability. From what I
hear, their internal e-mail isn't hot either. I've been requested to
set up internal/external mail, and possibly news (if I can get my way
[(-:]).
I (think I) am a reasonably competent C/UNIX person. However, I
haven't the slightest idea on what software to bring, etc. Where can I
get a PD mailer? Where do I get the news software? How do I set up
external mail (a good book reference would be appreciated here)? What
system do I use (UUCP, CSNET, etc? -- are they the same? I don't mind
modifying a running kernel, but I don't know /bin/mail from
/lib/sendmail...).
The system: I've been told to expect
"vanilla System V with sockets, job control and pseudo-tty's."
Any/All info is/will be appreciated.
