 JH> So the delivery of e-mail (to your ISP) is also handled by Winserver?

Yep, it has 2 available servers, smtp, or pop3, and another one, WCmail, which
is UUCP.

 JH> Sorry if it's a silly question, but I'm not familiar with Winserver at

 JH> If I understand you correctly, you want WaterGate to translate the
 JH> e-mails in the conference "email" to netmail in the conference
 JH> "netmail" (and vv)?

Correct.

 JH> As far as I know that's not possible. For gating net/email you will
 JH> need a feed for the e-mail from your ISP which is supported by
 JH> WaterGate (uucp, smtp, pop3, bag), but I've never seen a possibility to
 JH> gate between two conferences.

E-mail comes in as the standard format, of the 3 files, that SMTP I believe
supports.


 JH> Perhaps it still is possible, if it's not just a connection between two
 JH> conferences. Which protocol are you using to send/receive e-mail
 JH> (uucp/smtp/pop3 ...)? It seems to me that you will have to start
 JH> looking in that direction. If it's one of the protocols WaterGate is
 JH> supporting, it should be possible. There are several options in the
 JH> "link defenitions" for setting those links/protocols.

Then thats is where I will look.
