Hello All
I was unable to make the first meeting :o( due to other commitments and
I have only just read my messages since the start of May, looks like I
missed a great day!
I have two questions for you all and then I will go back to lurking for
the time being:-
1) When is the next meeting? Soon hopefully! Any locations in mind?
I'm happy to travel anywhere and can give lifts, I'm in Braintree in
Essex but don't mind going a bit out of my way to pick people up if
required.
2) This is the big one! I've been asked to set up a mail server at
work, my boss isn't as IT literate as she likes to think and can't
understand why I don't just walk into PC World buy some software and
have it up and running in ten minutes flat. I have decided to "stick
it" on a Linux box. Now I need help as I've only installed Linux once
(Red-hat from PC-Plus) and due to lack of time didn't get to play with
it properly.
The Network server is Novell Netware 3.2 (at least it not Gates!) and
the clients are all Win 95 or 98. I need a mail server that will
periodically dial up the ISP (Pipex) and then download and distribute
the mail to all of the clients. Any mail that is sent from the desktop
will go to the Linux box and wait until it dials up. I suppose the
desktop mail client will be Micro$haft Outlook as that's the main
software that all of the duffers I work with can understand.
Can anybody Help? Please. Reply's to the group or direct to myself are
welcomed and appreciated!
Thank you.
