MS-Mail uses a proprietary encryption scheme, which makes it almost
impossible to roll your own gateway.  Microsoft will, however, _sell_
you an SMTP gateway (that runs on a stand-alone PC) for plenty $$$
(more than your original MS-Mail license).  To be able to generate
SMTP addresses in outgoing mail, they'll also _sell_ you an SMTP
addressing module (one for each postoffice that you want to be able
to send SMTP mail) for even more $$$ (more than the gateway cost).

We have be lumbered with an MS-Mail system (20-odd postoffices) which
we have been trying to make talk SMTP.  The gateway itself is quite 
flakey, although we have managed now to get it to stay up for up to
24 hours at a stretch!  To do this, we had to use two SMC ethernet
adapters, and put the IP leg on its own ether segment, shared only 
with one Unix host which is the MX target for all the postoffices.

If it's not too late, do yourself a favour and scrap MS-Mail.  Change
to Pegasus (free), which has a very nice gateway (Charon, also free)
which will also handle LPR/LPD printer queue gateways between Novell
and Unix.  MS-Mail is a _serious_ dog, to be avoided at all costs.
