Yes. Recall that there are 2 mail ports. 25 is smtp and 109 is pop. You
probably want to monitor pop.

Yes. However, don't forget it's a 2 way street. You also have to forward
the responses from the mail server back to netscape.

Yep. I'm not sure what the benefits of stringing them together will be,
but I can be made to work.

It's not a Redbook. Redbooks are typically training materials, not
technical references.
You want TCPPR.INF. It's part of the Warp4 Developer's Toolkit and it's
on your DevCon CD's.
