Folks, Cornell Information Technologies is planning to scale its POP service up to include, potentially, the whole campus. We're trying to migrate folks away from mainframe-based mail and toward the more distributed model. Our plans currently include a SPARCStation 2 w/64mb RAM and 2.6gb disk dedicated to POP service. We're curious about what other places are doing, particularly places that are putting heavy emphasis on POP and other distributed solutions over timesharing solutions. Among the questions I'm interested in seeing answered are: 1] What sort of hardware base have you given POP? 2] What are the common support issues/problems? 3] How widespread is POP-based mail (vs. mainframe)? Thanks in advance, Mike Shappe CIT Collaboration Systems -- -- Michael "Uncle Mikey" Shappe Michael_Shappe@cornell.edu "Spring is really coming, it's just so goddamned slow." -- Suzanne Vega
