I'm in a very similar situation at my college as the only person to use Linux on my desktop machine in an environment which is almost entirely MS based. The college exchange server is a real problem for me. I deal with it by using a yahoo mail address as much as possible and just booting my machine into windows once per day to find any mail sent to my college address. Yahoo mail seems to be a pretty good service fetching mail via pop3, but I have had problems sending it out to their smtp server so I use sendmail on my desktop machine to handle that but please don't ask me how it all works :)
Apologies. My reply was a bit harsh. Unfortunately yesterday was pretty much a complete disaster in which I got nothing done. I was trying to sort out some windows problems and as far as I am concerned its all a pile of pooh (excuse the language, but even at home windows gives me problems). I know zip about windows internals, but still reflect on a microsoft programmer who lived in Newton Abbot(!) - his comment was that windows was a load of rubbish, extremely poorly coded, and he prefers coding on unix boxes. I rest my case :-) John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
