How to receive mail under WIN95 from another Debian PC ?
Hi -
My little private network looks as follows:
PC1 (WIN95,Linux) <---> PC2 (Linux) <----> ISP
Dual boot option INN, SMAIL ISDN
I don't have problems with ISP connectivity; masquerading and
forwarding is done by PC2; everything's working fine, so far.
I have installed a news server on PC2 (INN) and mail is handled by
SMAIL on PC2 as well. Both are polled and fed using UUCP between
PC2 and my ISP. I can read and post news under WIN95 and Linux
on PC1.
But I do need some advice from you: how should I setup mail on
PC1 under WIN95 and Linux ?
- PC1/Linux should be done by SMAIL as well, right ?
Forwarding from PC1 to PC2 ?
Right now mail is sorted into /var/spool/mail on PC2 for
different users, so I could mount /var/spool/mail on PC1
using NFS. Is this recommended ?
- PC1/WIN95 should be done by POP3, right ?
Does SMAIL handle the POP3 protocol as well ?
If not, what package do you recommend ? qpopper ?
I looked into qpopper and installed it, but I really don't know how
the setup is done. In inetd.conf there is a line for POP3:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.pop3d
I don't have a in.pop3d, but a in.qpopper instead. Should I change
this, and is that all ?
Thanks and with regards,
Michael
