When you know unix then setup postfix and qpopper. A very good windows package is the argosoft mailer, which can be downloaded at http://www.argosoft.com Before postfix I used that package which is very good. Jack PLease do not use mime in mailing lists! "> Dear Sir "> I am new to this operating system and became interested when I "> started to look at a solution for a network set-up. I do not know if "> I will be able to master this OS because I grew up with Windows and "> know nothing about UNIX OS systems. With windows I at least can help "> myself and find my way around.

The reason is this is a "> Teachers training collage, the one network is for the admin "> department and another for the staff and lastly the student network.

The server that I "> would like to set up should be able to record all student activities "> in the sense to monitor the web pages visited and the printing that "> has been done plus to forbid certain printings such as web pages.
