What I know as the remote client support. I know even less about that. But, yes, that could probably be a daemon of sorts without an actual P.O. :-) It might have been a different limitation from the time, imposed by the configuration in play. I see a lot of documentation talking about doing SMTP between a PC running DOS or NT (the two platforms that the MS-Mail SMTP Gateway ran on) and a Unix (typically Solaris) box that would gateway between SMTP and UUCP. I think the P.O. usually lived on one system which a lot of people accessed. Then the SMTP gateway lived on another system, where it would gateway between the P.O. on one side ans SMTP on another side. Given the purported instability of the various gateways, I think there was a fair bit of advantage in having it on it's own system so that it could be rebooted without impacting anything else. The same would not be true if the gateway was run on the file server holding the P.O. There's also using the SMTP gateway between multiple P.O.s, each on different departmental file servers, and the Internet. All speculation about something I was not part of and have only read things about. -- Save for the fact that I did get MS-Mail to SMTP Gateway working in a lab within the last couple of years. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
