Perhaps some of you good people out there in netland can help me? The problem
I have is to try to allow people to send/receive mail on IBM pcs and clones.

We have a compact campus plumbed with Ethernet, and many of the academics
or departments have bought pcs and hooked them on to the Ether. Now they
are all clamouring to be able to receive mail on their pc. Only trouble is,
I can't see a practical/secure way of doing it. Mail comes on to the campus
and is redistributed from a uVAX running MMDF. This is no problem for the
un*x-based machines, but won't work for the pcs. Does anyone know of any
software that will either:

1) Allow mail to be distributed to an IBM PC and still retain a level of
   security

   or

2) operate in a nntpd/rrn manner, thus allowing users to read their mailbox
   from a central repository?

   Any suggestions will be gratefully received; please mail me rather than
   cluttering up the net.
