Thanks Pete
If I were to take your advice, I would install Jmail on the www machine,
thereby not affecting the mx server. OK, now the part that confuses me.
1. Will I change the DNS setting on my PDC&BDC to reflect that the MX
record for this particular IP is not the imail server and is the www server?
(Only for the IP that will be using this feature) Thereby not affecting the
imail server.
2. My mx server will still function for pop3 etc?
On a different approach, if I were to use NT's and enable SMTP on the www
server, how would it affect the mx server? Would I also have to make the DNS
MX records changes reflecting the different server?
Yesterday I was playing with the new-page wizard to set up a feedback form.
Went ok, but when I went to the site to test it, got an server error msg,
and further looking I got a msg saying the server wasnt set up properly, and
then it directed me to M$ FP/serk page.
TIA
Michael
