HP OpenMail is a "black box" mail storage facility ala Cyrus. It's one of
the few was of getting the groupware functionality of MS Exchange without
the braindamage of MS Exchange.
It doesn't speak SMTP by itself, and relies on a separate MTA to receive
the message. In it's native environment (HP-UX), the incoming message is
received by sendmail, which then passes the message to OpenMail via a
separate program (called openmail, iirc)..
Does that clear some things up?
