www.myrealbox.com is a demonstration site for Novell. I think they
are trying to show how Novell can provide solutions to various network
and email problems. In other words, it's advertising for Novell.
Or maybe public relations for Novell. There's no advertising on the site
and you don't get any in your mail either.
They have an anti-spam policy and a very firm privacy policy.
Check it out for yourself: www.myrealbox.com
I have discovered that Arachne won't send mail through their SMTP
server because Arachne doesn't support authentication. So I used
my ISP's SMTP server instead. Works like a charm.
I wanted to have a different POP3 mailbox for Arachne because I use
Pine for most of my email elsewhere.
