and http://www.bmtmicro.com Why would you want a POP3/SMTP server? Well, basically
you
need this (or something similar) if you want to set up
e-mail accounts for more than one person on your computer.
Now you can have separate e-mail addresses for your
children, your cat, or whomever else needs one. Or, of
course, you can set up your OS/2 machine as the mail server
for your office.
The catch - there's always a catch - is that it's useless to
run such a server unless your computer is going to be
on-line most of the time (or unless you can arrange to get
mail relayed from a machine that's on-line most of the
time). Otherwise your correspondents will be left with lots
of bounced mail. The average dial-up user should probably
not install this package.
