Hi Jason,
On 18 August 2000 at 09:46:04 GMT -0400 (which was 14:46 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Internal Mail for Office":
J> Is this possible?
It seems so.

This should work.
J> (a fleeting thought!, how will this work with local delivery? If
J> the bat cannot get to the other directories?)
By using the POP/SMTP server theorised below.

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).

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.
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

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.
