Good point,...Sorry about that.
Mdaemon is a piece of software which collects/sends domainpop and pop3 mail
from/to the ISP. It stores it on the server until the client s/w asks for
the mail for that user. It is in effect performing the role of a post office
on a local lan. It has alias accounts, mailing lists, etc.
I wish to be able to move this function from the NT box to a Linux box but
do not know of any such similar software that is available.
Wingate acts as a proxy server allowing all pc's on the lan to surf the web
via a single modem/cable modem/DSL,..etc connection. It also can be set up
to perform the functions of a firewall, DHCP server, DNS, etc.
Again I wish to remove Wingate from the NT server and use Linux as a
proxy/firewall device.
Why am I changing something that works? I like Linux, it is more stable than
NT and as I travel away alot I need to know that I can retrieve my mail
remotely from a system that will be running.
I also need to be testing Win2K on the NT server,..( It's a work
thing,..sorry,..)
I hope this is a bit more informative,..
Cheers!
