To complete the gateway installation, the OneWorld Internet administration application is equipped with a registration section that asks several questions about your site, ranging from the number of employees to a list of possible domain names for your site. Once the e-mail server is on the Internet, your users can exchange mail. Sending mail out to the Internet is not as intuitive as it could be, through no fault of Global Village. QuickMail's gateway integration isn't very seamless. This is the inevitable result of working with an on-line mail system with live addresses.
Users can set up their own address books to simplify the process.
OneWorld Internet only supports binhex encoding for attachments, which is fine for Mac-only communication, but it will hardly get you by in other arenas. Global Village says it is working on supporting different encoding schemes, such as uuencode and Base64. Once your users are configured, the process is nearly invisible. Using another simple install disk, we installed the bare essentials on the client Macintoshes. Then, with a quick setup program, the client is assigned an IP address out of the pool for your site.
