SMTP - Client
-
Hi folks, i have an environment where the server is unix and the workstations are Windows NT. Now the admin wants to send smtp-messages to the workstations. (like "i will shutdown the server in 10 seconds") i think this means i have to write small smtp-servers on all workstations which do nothing more than listen on port 25 for incoming mails, recieve them and pop them up on the screen. Anyone out there who has ever done something like this? Any help would be appriciated!:)

SMTP is not suitable for this purpose. It's for sending email, not popup notifications. Tell your administrator to find a better protocol, or define one himself.
