The company I for which I've worked had a fairly straightforward set of
mail requirements: e-mail among a group of Unix workstations and larger
hosts with UUCP links to the outside world.  Life was good (more or
less) and we lived in ignorant bliss (:-).  Recently, we were purchased
and the organization isn't so simple.  The new home office is a
combination of VMS, Novell, and VM/CMS, with a few Mac's thrown in for
good measure.  We're about to get a 56KB line between sites with
routers on each end that will probably support TCP/IP and DECNet
protocols.

The question now is:  how far can we go toward exchanging mail among
these various environments?  I'm sure that all of these problems have
been addressed somewhere in netland, but we could certainly use some
pointers on what has and hasn't worked.  (I neither like re-inventing
wheels nor falling in old muddy pits already full of bodies.)

Thanks.
