E-Mail Configuration: Local Area Network Only

Email configuration tips for an HP3000 on a local area network (with no Internet or wide-area-network) connections:

• Your HP3000 can be configured to point to a (DNS) nameserver if you use DNS locally; if not, then system addresses in NMMGR's NS directory or Netmaint's known-host directory.
• It's often useful in NMMGR to ensure that you have both "802.3" and "Ethernet" framing enabled. HP3000s and HP9000s by default use 802.3 framing on local area network (Ethernet) lans, but many other systems, including many PCs use "Ethernet" style packet frames. Allowing both won't bust anything and avoids odd problems connecting to various systems on your network.

For connectivity tips relating to other (local) e-mail systems, see some of the other configuration guides.
