>if you haven't tried this already
Thanks Carl,
yes tried this and i can get a banner for both smtp and pop3
In the mail-servers settings you can set the following:-
outgoing smtp fine and dandy :-)
email collection (this is multinets primary collection method) i've got set
to smtp and multinet happliy listens and collects emails and distributes
them to the mail boxes.
There is also an option for multinet to collect its emails by pop3 and then
you have to point it at a pop3 server. Now this isn't what i want to do.
The email server works happilly i just want my users to be able to collect
email via a web interface.
Multinet do have a web portal but its very poor and limited. It's also an
exe and runs as a webserver on the mailserver.
Begining to think i'm buggered :-(
Damian
