Possibly a daft question but here goes.

We have a client who want a quick and easy gateway to Internet mail for 
CC:mail ( they don't use Notes ) now that they have installed a leased 
line.

Will FreeBSD do this? Because I know it doesn't entertain MS Mail. And 
so will CC:mail work as a POP client too with popper? And in fact why do 
they need cc:mail at all? Wouldn't Internet mail clients for both LAN 
and E-mail be better and more fun?

If the answer is yes surely this has to a very stable and fast solution 
for every LAN mail system?

So ... how did MS Mail and cc:mail ever come to be invented at all. Was 
it purely to run on dos boxes?

Cheers and keep up the good work, 

Paul Walsh.
