MSMail <-> Sendmail gateway
Greg George
something for this now I would be interested in hearing from you. I
would prefer to get something from the 'net rather than hand money to
a company, but I'll take what I can get.
thanks for the help

We are currently using one from microsoft. It freezes constantly, is
incredibly slow, and just about the most unreliable piece of software I have
ever seen.
One other MSMail-> SMTP gateway I have heard of is called Connect^2; You
can call them at (800) 678-1097 or email at Sa...@infinite.ihub.com. I have
no idea how good their product is, so you're on your own.

Just a reminder folks, this newsgroup is supposed to be discussing
sendmail, not MS-Mail SMTP gateways. That kind of discussion is best
left to comp.mail.misc (unless someone knows of a comp.mail.msmail
newsgroup).

The one we are now using is called TFS. Send mail to 'mail...@tenfour.se' or
'in...@tenfour.se' for information....
Its pretty functional - gateways between any/all MS/MAIL, WP-OFFICE, CC:MAIL,
SMTP, UUCP, MCI-MAIL. It does uuencode and MIME attachments (configurable per
address or domain wildcard) and international characters. It can also virus
scan attachments on the way through the gateway, and access can be controlled
on a user by user basis!
It runs on any winsock tcp stack (though thats just the smtp part - the
gateway runs in a dos window, and just needs access to the post office
directory over whatever lan you have installed)...
Pretty neat, and we found it cheaper than microsofts....
I've had a few problems with leaving it up for long periods (chkdsk complains
about lost clusters) but I think thats more to do with our netware post office
server going down lots....
Hope this helps
