4.6. E-mail on HP3000s

4.6.1. NetMail/3000

3k Associates provides the only native SMTP/MIME (Internet mail standard) mail server for HP 3000s; NetMail/3000. NetMail/3000 provides SMTP/MIME compatible e-mail for HP terminal or emulator users, as well as batch jobs. 3k also provides an SMTP/MIME mail gateway for HPDesk sites (called DeskLink), and a POP2 and POP3 mail server for mail clients like Eudora, Microsoft Exchange or Outlook, Pegasus, or Netscape. 3k also offers a API (application programming interface) package where you can initiate e-mail messages, retrieve messages, and query the mail directory from your own applications. Get info or a free demo of the mail package from http://www.3kassociates.com/ .

Now, any HP3000 running MPE/iX 5.0 or later can e-mail to any SMTP compatible system(s) - including the Internet.

4.6.2. Telamon mail

There exists a freeware mail client (which requires a 'smart' smtp server) from Telamon (now Vytek) at their web site. This client allows you to do simple message "sending" (no receiving) and requires a smart mail host to relay mail.

4.6.3. Sendmail/iX

Sendmail has also been ported to the HP3000 and is provided by HP with new MPE/iX OS releases.
