Looks to me that you have all you need in the server side, that is (sendmail) a way to receive and send mail from/to the Internet and a (qpoper) way to download the mail to the client. If your clients have netscape, outlook or any pop3 compliant client, then you have a mail service ready for use. buena suerte raymundo Chip wrote: > > Here at my company we are tired of having to > rely on our isp's mail server, so I want to > set up my own.
