Very Computer

I have a similar setup.  SCO OS/5 is my internet server and my network
contains two 95 boxes and 1 NT box.  I also use sendmail on the SCO box.

However, I do not believe that you will get sendmail to deliver anything to
your 95 boxes!  Instead, the 95 boxes will use SCO's POP server to retrieve
mail.  This is easily set up on your 95 machine.  Use the mail/fax icon on
the control panel.  Then, when you go into Microsoft Exchange, you will
automatically get your mail.  I am assuming here that you, like I, have
a TCP/IP connection between the machines.

As far as sending mail from the 95 boxes, no problem.  Again, the setup
wizard for mail/fax will guide you.

This means that your 95 users will need accounts established on your SCO box
because they will need to let Exchange know the logonid and password.

I have been told that we will be buying some win95 computers for some
less than technical staffers.

What I need to do is the following:

We now use sendmail on the SCO box to deliver mail to a uucp provider
(or the Internet, if our connection is up).  It also delivers mail to
our internal UNIX net.

What I want to do is get those win95 computers on our tcp/ip network
and have those win95 computers deliver there email to me on the sco
and then have my sco deliver it.  And vice versa have the mail come
in from the internet (or uucp) and deliver it to the win95 computers.

Using sendmail to deliver to the win95 should be easy, I will just
make the email addresses use a domain name that targets their machine.
This is already in place for our UNIX boxes.

What I do not know anything about is the win95 side.  I will need the
win95 to work with tcp/ip, and to send and recieve mail via the
sendmail SNMP (or is it SMNP I can never remember) the network mail
protocol thing.  Telling the win95 to deliver all mail to the sco
machine especially if the mail is going outside of the internal net.

Can anyone give me some direction, advice, etc ...

BTW, I feel so dirty that these machines will be on MY net. The world
was so nice and clean when everything was UNIX.

Thanx in advance ...

   Exactly how you should do this depends on the requirements you
have and the software you will be using.

   Let's say you want your users to receive mail addressed simply to

2 or some such program which supports POP.  The best solution is
probably to have individual mailboxes on your Unix machine, install
a POP daemon, and use your POP client (Eudora, Netscape, etc.) to
read mail that way.  For outbound mail, your client would be configured
simply to dump mail into your mail server.

   OSR5 comes with a POP daemon, though Netscape 2 doesn't get along
too well with it.  There's a somewhat better POP daemon available
as a TLS.  We've installed it (with MMDF; I don't know if it
works well or at all with sendmail) and it works fine for us.
We have several users using Netscape 2 to read their mail; we
haven't tried Eudora or any other POP clients but would expect them
to work, too.

   If, on the other hand, you want your Win95 clients to receive
email with their machine names as part of it (e.g. Jim wants his


complicated.  It's also an approach I personally don't like;
I don't want each user's email address tied to the name of their
desktop machine.
