2466.0. "Filtering switch 900ef mail" by SNOC02::THERKELSEN (Just riding the gravy train) Wed Jul 05 1995 05:01

    Hi,
    
    I was wondering if the following was possible. Customer
    has two hubs, one of the hubs has a pathworks/netware
    server lan on it and the other has a NT lan and a Win for Workgroup
    lan on it. They all talk IPX/SPX. I've been given the task of
    setting up a MSmail pilot (I know why bother :-) for
    there network. However at present Mr. Customer doesn't
    want any communications (i.e user connections) between
    the lans (security reasons) but we wants mail. To achieve
    mail connectivity I need a pc which is running
    external.exe (MSmail mta) to be able to connect to a
    logical drive on each server.
    Each hub has a DECswitch 900EF so my thoughts are to
    filter everything out accept the pc MAC address and
    Server SAPS. I've read the filtering comments in this
    notes file (bit confusing on the source and destination
    side of things even with note 1972.3)  but I'm still
    unsure wether what I'm doing is correct.
    
    Anyone done this?
    
    Thanks

    It's a little unclear from this message how the PC will be used
    for mail services, whether it is dual-homed, how the two hubs are
    connected, and in general what the topology will look like.  However
    my guess is that you should be able to use the manual mode feature to
    do what you want.
