   HELP!!!!!
   I need advice on integrating some form of PC email with our well
   established Unix network.  I have a fire-walled system with a single
   point of connection to the Internet.  We have a largish head office
   network and WAN links to a number of remote sites.

   All email is currently based on SMTP.
....
   This is a highly Unix-centric organisation, but we have a small NetWare
   PC network set up as an appendage to the head office Unix network.
....

   What I need, I guess, is a sendmail replacement for each of the mail
   servers.

On our campus the PC/Novell networks get 'Pegasus mail' installed.
As far as I know this is public domain.
It makes the Novell server talk directly smtp (no other software required).
So the sendmail on our UNIX mail server can just deliver mail there,
without bothering about PC/Novell peculiarities.
Outgoing mail from the Novell network is always given with smtp to a
(the same) mail relay.
We are VERY happy with this solution.

   (I am running the SoftNet NetWare emulator on the Unix box),
   but if the PC email has to
   go onto the NetWare server I won't lose too much sleep over it.

Although I hardly know anything about Novell, the 'Pegasus mail' software
makes use of the 'NLM' functionality.
This functionality is not in SoftNet Netware.
