It seems so. J I would like to use the bat for an internal mail system, on a J Novell Netware server. I would like the entire office to be able to J use one installed copy of the bat with their own mail being stored J in private directories. This should work.

J From what I have read, there needs to be one copy of the bat setup J as the server, so this means it needs to be running all the time. J There is no place to do this. There has to a server in this scenario /somewhere/ - if not a TB server then a standard SMTP/POP or IMAP server (bearing in mind that IMAP doesn't /quite/ work as it should for optimum performance). J The G:\ drive is common for everyone, the executable could go J there. The U:\ drive is a mapped drive letter to a personal J directory, this is where the mail directory should be. U:\ maps to J the login name so U:\ is the same no matter which PC you log in fr J name so U:\ is the same no matter which PC you log in from. Nothing wrong with this *except* that the TB settings are held in the registry and you would need a different Windows logon for each user to ensure a keep personalisation for each specific user. Using the U: mapping for the base mail folder will make sure that the mail itself follows each user to their seat. J The only thing I can think of is to install a POP/SMTP server on J the Netware server. Am I right? Yes. I don't know what is available for this. There are plenty for NT. Netware is not my zone.

No can do because of the registry thing. You can put each copy into "administrated" mode using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/ keystroke. J Any guidance would be appreciated, Also, one more factor: The J supervisor (using the bat) needs to be able to get mail from the J outside world and forward it to the inside world. :) That could probably done with a (fairly) complex filter set. - -- Cheers, .\\arck Marck D.

Hello Marck, On Sunday, August 20, 2000 at 10:56:06 GMT +0100 (which was 2:56 AM where I live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: J Also, How would I lock down the settings on the installed copy of J TheBat! at each workstation so I can guarantee that the interface J will be the same no matter where you sit. No can do because of the registry thing. You can put each copy into "administrated" mode using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/ keystroke. Does the Netware system have a log on script? How about a log off script? I was thinking that if you do have these capabilities, just have your log off script copy the Registry keys into a reg file stored in the user's mail directory. Then when they log on, have that reg file incorporated into the current workstations registry. I don't know if this would work in practice, but it might be worth a shot. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.46 Beta/3 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Internal Mail for Office
Hello TBUDL, Is this possible? Here's the short scenario: The boss wants the staff to have e-mail but not to the outside world. The boss wants to be the e-mail link to the outside world. The staff uses a different computer each day. Here's the long scenario: I would like to use the bat for an internal mail system, on a Novell Netware server. I would like the entire office to be able to use one installed copy of the bat with their own mail being stored in private directories. (a fleeting thought!, how will this work with local delivery? If the bat cannot get to the other directories?) From what I have read, there needs to be one copy of the bat setup as the server, so this means it needs to be running all the time. There is no place to do this. I have multiple people using the same PCs, there may be 6 or 7 people using one pc and some people may use a different PC every day. So this needs to be centralized. So it doesn't matter which PC the person sits at. The G:\ drive is common for everyone, the executable could go there. The U:\ drive is a mapped drive letter to a personal directory, this is where the mail directory should be. U:\ maps to the login name so U:\ is the same no matter which PC you log in from. The only thing I can think of is to install a POP/SMTP server on the Netware server. Am I right? Also, How would I lock down the settings on the installed copy of TheBat! at each workstation so I can guarantee that the interface will be the same no matter where you sit. Any guidance would be appreciated, Also, one more factor: The supervisor (using the bat) needs to be able to get mail from the outside world and forward it to the inside world. :) Best regards, Jason mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
