We have 5 remote sites all running Novell 3.12.  We would like to implement an e-mail 
system that automatically transfers e-mail messages between sites.  Any suggestions or  
leads you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Example - A user composes an e-mail message.  The user selects a recipient(s) off a list 
(The list has the names of everyone at all sites.  But the user isn't concerned with the 
destination site - only that the person they select will get the message).  The user 
then clicks 'send'.  The message is automatically delivered to the appropriate site(s) 
via a dial up connection without user intervention.

We�d like the messages delivered directly to their destination site(s), not routed 
through the Internet.  We�d also like to avoid (the expense of) a WAN.

I'm interested in only a Novell server and/or dedicated PC solution that uses regular 
phone lines.

I'd prefer, but don't require, that messages be queued and sent at a predetermined 
interval (every x minutes) rather than being sent immediately.

We haven�t purchased an e-mail package yet so their are no restrictions on the client 
side.

All sites are running Windows 3.xx (we're not running the Windows network, just the 
client OS).  All Novell servers are all 3.12, 25 users or less.

I've spent a lot of time on the Web looking for this solution and haven�t found 
anything.  Am I dreaming that such a solution exists?

Direct replies to jeff@employs.com would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
