Has anyone used a FreeBSD system connected via a PPP dial-up
connection to act as an e-mail gateway for a company or domain?
I am interested in what software is required to fetch the e-mail
from an internet provider.
Will sendmail handle this?
Also what do I need to tell the Internet Provider to get them to
store and forward the e-mail when the connection is up?
Do I need some special software to automatically dial the Internet
Provider to poll for received e-mail?
Can someone recommend a good book that will cover these topics?
I would appreciate an e-mail response, since I can't always keep
up with this newsgroup.
Thanks,
Dave Smith
