Rick,
My idea was to use the 2 hamsters in the follwing way:
- the LAN e-Mail Hamster server deals with the internal mail; he is
working the whole day.
- the Hamster server on the internet PC handles (if switched on) the
external mails and pass them through the LAN e-mail server for
distribution to the internal users. This internet E-mail server is
only working 10 minutes per day.
Would that be possible technically?
Greetings,
Jos
