Hi,

I need to set up an email system between 4 geographically seperated lans of
mostly PC's.  For the long haul communication between each site I was
planning on using rfc822 style mail between a unix box at each site
(transfered over either dialup IP or UUCP).  This should allow the eventual
linking of this group of sites with the outside world without major
problems and handles the immediate cross site communication problems.

What I need now is an email system for the PC's at each site that will
interwork with this rfc822 backbone as well as the constraints of existing
setup.  One of the lan's is running novell, another is running lantastic.
The other two have yet to be set up but will probably run novell.

Some of the requirements I see for this system:
	Runs on DOS and Windows
	"good" user interface.
	gateway to smtp mail (or is a pop/imap client)
	dosn't need to pre-know about everyone in the world
	able to easily incorporate and transfer documents from
		popular dos spreadsheets/word processors etc.

There is also the odd macintosh floating around these networks so it 
would be nice to be able to incorporate them.

If you have any suggestions for possible products (either commercial or
free) that could be useful for this I'd like to know.  Also if you have any
war stories about trying to do something similar I'd like to hear those as
well.

I'll summarise to the net if there is interest.

cheers
mark
