Re: A/400 as e-mail server

[John Myers - MM <jmyersmm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

OS/400 POP & SMTP work just fine ... we have used them as long as they have 
been available with Newscape & Eudora clients.  (Check my mail headers to 
confirm this).

BTW, we are finally upgrading to Domino ... we have gotten to the point 
that we need the centralized services that Domino provides.
