Wouldn't it just be easier to install an IMAP server and let them access that from anywhere? If they have access to Communicator (Netscape 4), they have an IMAP-capable mail reader. (There are a few others available for unix; and several for MS-Win* or Mac.) Personally, I prefer the Cyrus server over the imap-uw version because Cyrus runs as a non-privileged user. OTOH, it requires IMAP or POP3 acces because it doesn't deliver into the traditional unix mailboxes. Both servers are available in the ports collection. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
