AIMS is a full SMTP/POP3 server. If you want to use it with Eudora you have 
two choices 
1/ You set Eudora up as a POP3 client to AIMS in which case you really need 
AIMS and Eudora to be always running at the same time. Also you will need a 
seperate Eudora settings file for each mailbox, as you do with Addmail. You 
would set Eudora to send directly to AIMS
2/  You set Eudora up as a UUCP client to AIMS. In this case you have AIMS 
send incoming mail to an exsisting Eudrora mailbox (though you will be asked 
by Eudora if you want to rebuild the mailboxes TOC every time there is new 
mail). Eudora will send drictly to AIMS but in UUCP format which will need 
to to be converted by a little program callerd AIMS bridge.Typically you 
would run AIMS bridge just before you go online with AIMS.

AFAIK AIMS is not yet OT complient. AIMS 1.1 should be out anytime now and 
that will be.
