Hello All

I was unable to make the first meeting :o( due to other commitments and I have only just read my messages since the start of May, looks like I missed a great day!

I have two questions for you all and then I will go back to lurking for the time being:-

1) When is the next meeting? Soon hopefully! Any locations in mind? I'm happy to travel anywhere and can give lifts, I'm in Braintree in Essex but don't mind going a bit out of my way to pick people up if required.

2) This is the big one! I've been asked to set up a mail server at work, my boss isn't as IT literate as she likes to think and can't understand why I don't just walk into PC World buy some software and have it up and running in ten minutes flat. I have decided to "stick it" on a Linux box. Now I need help as I've only installed Linux once (Red-hat from PC-Plus) and due to lack of time didn't get to play with it properly.

The Network server is Novell Netware 3.2 (at least it not Gates!) and the clients are all Win 95 or 98. I need a mail server that will periodically dial up the ISP (Pipex) and then download and distribute the mail to all of the clients. Any mail that is sent from the desktop will go to the Linux box and wait until it dials up. I suppose the desktop mail client will be Micro$haft Outlook as that's the main software that all of the duffers I work with can understand.

Can anybody Help? Please. Reply's to the group or direct to myself are welcomed and appreciated!

Thank you.
