Folks had some great advice and I'm not sure which went to the list and
which was just to me, so I'll summarize before asking my next question.
Software suggestions:
Eudora's WorldMail for NT 2.0
Microsoft Exchange Server
CommuniGate for the Mac
Eudora Internet Mail Server (for Mac)
My comments:
I tried Eudora Internet Mail Server for the Mac and found it a breeze to
set up. It was very much like AppleShare IP 6.0's mail server module.
Just as with ASIP I was able to get an TCP/IP-based Intranet mail system
going within a reasonable time.
Eudora's WorldMail for NT: a monster download (27 megs vs. just over 1
for the Mac version) though I'm sure if I could have made any sense out
of the online help materials I would have found it much more powerful.)
Microsoft Exchange Server--too expensive
CommuniGate for the Mac--decided not to try it when I realized I could
upgrade to ASIP 6 for about $450, since we use 4.2 at present.
So it looks like ASIP is the way to go. My Windows users and Mac users
can all send and receive messages like a charm. If I tell my ISP to send
all our njbiz.com mail to our email server then I won't have to sweat
setting up users with clients that can handle two accounts, either.
MY FINAL QUESTION: Does this mean I have to set up whatever computer runs
ASIP, or whichever of these programs I might select, with its own domain
name? Our e-mail goes to our domain njbiz.com, located at the place that
maintains our Web site. It bounces from there to our ISP, from where we
get it. Would I have to register another domain, say njbiz2.com or
something so we could get our e-mail when we dialing in from a locate
location?
Am I on the right track here?
Thanks to all who have responded so far, including, but not limited to:
Ari Weinstein, Ben Fullerton, Bede, Larry Rosenstein.
