SMTP: Specific Hardware Needed by the Gateway (87024)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP 3.0
This article was previously published under Q87024 SUMMARY
The Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP requires a dedicated IBM PC, XT,
AT, 80386 or 80486 compatible computer to run the SMTP gateway
software. This computer needs to have access to the Microsoft Mail
database and a designated SMTP host. The Microsoft Mail database
normally resides on a local-area network (LAN) server and access is
achieved through a network adapter using the appropriate network
shell/driver software (for example, Microsoft LAN Manager or Novell
NetWare). The SMTP host is accessed by means of a network adapter and
the use of a TCP/IP stack.
Access to both the Mail database and the SMTP host can be achieved
either through one adapter or through separate adapters. To use one
adapter, the LAN shell/driver must coexist with the TCP/IP stack on
this adapter. To verify whether this is possible, consult the installation
manuals for these shell/driver software products. If two adapters are to
be used, consult the installation manuals for the adapters as well.
