E-Mail Configuration Guidelines
for the HP 3000
Here you'll find practical examples and configuration options for NetMail/3000, DeskLink, Pop Server, or API/3000 customers -- or just about any other e-mail system you might implement on the HP3000. We describe how you can achieve e-mail connectivity with other platforms from a variety of local network configurations.
Pick a scenario that describes your network setup:
-
A Full-time Internet connection and an HP3000 that can directly access the Internet.
-
A Full-time Internet connection with a 3000 behind a firewall.
-
A Dial-on-demand (anytime) Internet connection with an Internet reachable HP3000.
-
A Dial-on-demand (at scheduled times) Internet connection with an Internet reachable HP3000.
-
An Internet link via UUCP on another system.
-
An Internet link where mail must be "relayed" via another system (HP 3000 does not have a direct TCP/IP connection to the Internet).
-
A local area network (no Internet link).
-
Communicating with PC based e-mail packages (MSMail, cc:Mail, WordPerfect, etc).
-
Using POP clients with NetMail/3000 or OpenDesk with the DeskLink gateway.
-
Hiding individual host names (so all e-mail addresses are just mailbox@domain.org).
-
Special considerations if using OpenDesk cc:Mail clients, MS Mail clients, or OpenDesk clients.
