[K12OSN] E-mail server...

[Bert Rolston]

Hi Steve,

Another question.

Does it automagically create each user's mailbox, or does it queue all
the messages?

I'll have about 8 users all collecting from the ISP mailbag. EG.
user1 at orgdomain.org.nz,  user2..... user3... and so on.

They have their own domain name being hosted by the ISP.

I like the choice, but oh to get the best fit for the customer.

Cheers,
Bert
