I am curious to get comments about the availability and/or usefulness of pop and smtp for implementing PC email in a tcp-ip environment. Anyone have any experience with both? I saw a post about how to get pop, but is a public domain smtp equally accessible for PC's? Is it any easier or better than pop? Thanks... Rich Goldschmidt uunet!rlgvax!golds

I think a p-d SMTP for PCIP exists, look on venera.isi.edu. I know nothing about it, other than that some people at ISI did it, and posted that it was available. SMTP is less useful under DOS than store-and-forward mail protocols like POP or Mark Lambert's PCMAIL. I think you can get a PCMAIL version for PCIP from allspice.lcs.mit.edu, and this would be worth looking into (we have about a dozen people in-house using it). James B.
