[K12OSN] WBEL Mail Server

[Bert Rolston]

Hi Julius,

How does it handle domain mail?

Can it drag the whole lot down to the local server, or does each user
have to get the e-mail from the ISP?

Could you give me a "mud map" schem,atic with appropriate modules. I've
got Squirrel mail working, and it is Simple to install. Domain mail is a
bit of a puzzle for me still.

Cheers,
Bert
