Dear Networkers,

At this moment I'm working on a project. The purpose of this project is to give
all university students the ability to mail (we are currently using PMail on
a limited scale) to each other and to their professorss. We are using Novell
network software. This email feature will be part of an integreted workplace
(using Windows as user interface). So I'm looking for people (students,
network specialist, etc) who have had experience with a similar project.
I would like to discuss:

    - Should students be able to access Internet (especially ftp)
    - What software could be used (NCSA, Trumpet, Pmail, etc)
    - How to inforce certain rules (Nettiquette, rules of communication,
      which sanctions should be used if students misbehave.
    - Each student has an account on the Novell server and a limited disk
      space for him/herself (about 300Kb). This disk space could be used
      to store the mailbox, or the mailbox could be copied to diskette.
      We expect the students to be rather casual about cleaning their mailboxes
      frequently, so when they have reached their disk quota what should
      happen to new mail. Major concern is that this mail could contain
      valuable information for this student.
    - Professors will send mail to many students and vice versa: what is the
      best way for them to reduce the time that is necessary to read all mail
      (we would like to avoid that the professors spent too much time reading
      the students mail).
    - Security problems in relation to this project.
    - Any other problem that I didn't mention here but relates to this
      project.

Thanks in advance,
Rutger van de GeVEL
