Sorry James, but I dont think what you have said is quite correct. 
smtp is fine for receiving mail also, I have used nos/oasis1.35/smtp for 
receiving/sending mail for ages, extremely successfully, (I average
about 30 items received per day !).

I suspect that OASIS is not unbatching mail for some reason, but I may
be wrong. You need to check you have a mailbox setup correctly in 
OASIS, see oasis\spool\mail\, also the mail.log in \oasis\spool\ should
list all mail items delivered. If they were delivered but you cannot 
read them in OASIS the problem is in your setup. 

Hope this helps Ted.

Cheers,

Will
