Natanam, So then your Novell machine will not be connected to the internet anymore? You then want your Linux machine to be the mail server? My Linux machine is a web server, apache web server, it is also a mail server, but that is double the work. Usually a mail server machine does just that, i.e., one machine with one card does web serving, another machine with another card does the mail serving. The work load is divided. If you have a fast connection and not too much demand for uploading and a t1 line, your machine can do both, i.e., not be overloaded with having to upload web files and email. Nowadays, everybody is requiring mail servers to upload all kinds of files, not just text, but video, audio, web pages with all kinds of images etc. Robert "S.NATANAM" wrote: > Hello > > My mail server is Novell 3.12 and it is connected to the internet > via Linux Machine.
