InterOffice Email Setup

Hi Thomas

2.  Run PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and change the HOME and
    NEW mail directory specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8
    format.

In that case he has to use usernames no longer than 8 characters - hasn't he?

Wouldn't it be better to advice \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~N and advice usernames without blanks and special characters?

It seems to me, that is the trap for most new users of Pegasus.

Hi,

 

We are a small company and have around 15 employees. We would like to use Pegasus to enable InterOffice Emailing. None of the emails will reach the outside since it will all be internal. We have Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition installed. 

 Does anyone have a guide or walkthrough on how to properly setup Pegasus to work for internal email only? I have tried in the past but never really got it working.

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

1.  Install WinPmail in the multiuser mode on the "server".  Use
    c:\pmail for the program; c:\pmail\mail for the mail directories. Run
    Pegasus Mail and create the users using Addresses | User management

2.  Run PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and change the HOME and
    NEW mail directory specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8
    format.  

3.  Go to the remote workstations and install a shortcut to the common
    program.

Ok, now you have the basic Pegasus Mail system setup.  You can send mail to each other using Pegasus Mail.  The e-mail address in this case is the username of the users, hit F2 to select the usernames.  If you ever want to send external mail then here is the rest of the setup.


4.  Install Mercury/32 on this same server pointing to the Pegasus Mail
    directory structure.  Use MercuryD, MercuryS, MercuryC at least. Use
    \\server\vol\mercury\queue for the mail spool directory.

5.  Point MercuryD at all of your POP3 mailboxes to download the mail to
    your Pegasus Mail user directories.

You now can send and receive Internet mail via Pegasus Mail.  The mail is delivered to the Pegasus Mail directories automatically.  You send mail simply but putting the output files into the Mercury/32 mail spool directory.  This is accomplished automatically with a Pegasus Mail User Defined Gateway.  

6.  If you want to maintain other POP3/IMAP4 clients, point the client at
    the at your Mercury/32 host as a POP3 and SMTP host using the Pegasus
    Mail username and password to pickup the mail.

You can do a complete inbound and outbound mail archive with this setup using a simple Mercury/32 "Always" filter that put a copy in a users mail directory.

Note:  If you want further personal support send a message to the e-mail address below.
