MS-Mail uses a proprietary encrypted mailbox and dedicated postoffice. There _is_ an MHS gateway available, to route mail between MS-Mail and MHS. I have no experience of this, but if their SMTP gateway is anything to go by, I would avoid it like the plague. The SMTP gateway is unstable, doesn't comply with the RFCs, is expensive and has lots and lots of hidden costs (you need extra software for each postoffice that wants to _send_ mail). I assume that the MHS gateway is much the same. If you willingly lock yourself into _any_ closed MS system, you have only yourself to blame. ---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=--- Paul Nash paul@frcs.Alt.ZA Box 12475, Onderstepoort, 0110 South Africa +27-12-5611879 "Standards are great -- everyone should have one" (Kent Landfield)
