Integrating E-mail

Integrating E-mail tells how to build an integrated Internet mail service by first taking different mail platforms and making them work together and then connecting them to the Internet. The book covers the different aspects of planning, integrating, supporting and managing an integrated Internet mail service. Emphasis is placed on connecting to the Internet using the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) and TCP/IP networking technology. A case study of Digital Equipment Corporation is included as an example of how a large worldwide company with many sites was able to pull together its many diverse mail systems into an integrated Internet mail service.
