We have a network of Suns (7 Sun-3, 7 SS1's, and a 4/280 server) and this is bridged to a appletalk lan using GATORBOX. All was fine when we wanted only to share printers and or move/share files. Recently there has arisen a requirement for UNIX users to be able to send mail to a MAC user. I know that Quick mail/GATORMAIL -Q would do it but the price of $(cdn)1300 (for lowest # user license of 10) has made this unacceptable. We have inbox on the macs and I was wondering if anybody knows of alternative ways of unix users being able to send mail to a single MAC user. Low cost or public domain seems to be desired.

Take a look at TechMail from MIT. It's a free (as long as you don't resell it) Mac POP3 client. The Mac's retrieve their mail from a Unix workstation running the POP server (several are available) and send outgoing messages to a (usually local) "mail hub" via SMTP for delivery. You can get TechMail via anonymous ftp from net-dist.mit.edu in the pub/TechMail directory ..
