I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to receive SMTP mail on a PC running Windows. It makes sense that if a PC is on the Internet and is running a mail receiver package 24 hours a day, it could then receive mail sent to it. If you're running Unix on the box, that is a given, as Unix includes the mailer as part of the OS. Well, since we now have Windows, we could set up the mailer to run as a task under it. Now, _sending_ mail might be a dif- ferent kettle of fish altogether... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will handle SMTP, FTP and TELNET and can run under windows. It can both send and recieve mail. Freemacs has a RMAIL mode that can be used as well but I don't believe that freemacs will run under windows. jv "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither."
