Novell MHS <-> SMTP gateway needed (DaVinci E-mail to sendmail v8)
Mike Batchelor
3.12 LAN, and also have a Unix TCP/IP LAN. The Unix LAN will soon be
connected to the Internet, and I want to be able to gateway Internet
e-mail back and forth to DaVinci e-mail. Currently, we are not running
MHS on the Netware server, since DaVinci doesn't require it for a
local-only setup, but we can run it if required.
I'd like to be able to run the gateway on the Netware server, using TCP/IP
to talk to a Unix mail hub running sendmail v8. If that's not possible,
then a standalone PC for the gateway would be OK. I don't think I need
any fancy functionality, since I can do any aliasing and re-addressing on
the sendmail hub.
If you have a suggestion, please send me e-mail, or post here. Thanks!

Novell Global MHS supports an SMTP gateway. It works OK but you will need to be
prepared to cope with addresses of the form
mailbox%workroup...@smtpgateway.domain.com
by munging sendmail on the (required) smart host. ast and stable from what we
have seen though.

PS Infinity systems (?) also do an MHS<->SMTP gateway for 1.5 MHS. Addressing
looks saner - never used it though.

We do not have Global MHS, just plain old MHS 1.5. Having to add yet
another piece of software makes the cost prohibitive.

I got Xgate 1.40 from omnigate.clarkson.edu. When I ran into some
problems with it, I called the number in the manual, and was told that
Xgate is not a product anymore, that Infinite Tech. had bought it and
called it C2SMTP. The price was raised from $199 to $1299.
The docs for Charon say that a MHS gateway is in the works. Does anybody
know if this has, or will, happen? The latest version I find is 4.0.

I've installed Mercury (& used Pegasus e-mail as client) on a Novell
network and like it pretty well. I'm still not much of a novell
person, but I think that it uses MHS. You can get it from risc.ua.edu.
