I have received many messages regarding a network mailer with Internet
support. I have created this intro file telling what it is, and where to get
it. I am willing to create a mailing list on this machine if there is an
interest. Sorry, that I did not answer everyone directly. This message is
being created using the View mailer.
View & Postman are still work-in-progress, but they are very usuable now.
VIEW Mailer
An Introduction
View is a PC based electronic mail system. View can operate with
a stand-alone PC, or as part of a novell network.
In stand-alone mode (NOSVIEW.EXE), you must have a KA9Q TCP/IP
SMTP server running. Amateur radio operators running TCP/IP over
radio may already be familar with NOS. NOS is stored on
THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM NOS was written by Phil Karn, KA9Q.
The network version of View runs much differently. This version
has been compiled with a novell library. This allows view to use
the network functions of novell. If you are running view on a
network, an utility machine must be setup. The utility machine
runs POSTMAN. In the 'real' world, if the postman is not
working, then no mail is delivered. This is the same for the
View mailer. POSTMAN delivers the mail from user to user. The
POSTMAN can handle up to 16 servers. If you have a gateway
machine running KA9Q NOS, the postman will send and receive
Internet mail onto the novell network.
VIEW is stored on HAMSTER.BUSINESS.UWO.CA
