My friend told me that I can send email through my LAN connection so i can send messeges to other PC in different division in my office..?
I am running win2k server with local domain active.
Do you have any idea? Any respond would be appreciated.

he was probably refering to the net send command

go to the command prompt and type:

net send /?

net send isn't an email, your right. But the process he describes sounds exactly like net send and not an email. He wants to send a message to a pc not a person, on the same lan, with no mention of an email server

The person he heard this from probably didn't know any better

net send isn't an email it's an admin message. I think this person is wondering if Outlook Express can be used in a non exchange/local mail service environment to send email to LAN users.
