Dear all
Let me dream for a minute:
Imagine there's an emergency situation in the area, power and internet are gone. Community- and organizational leaders meet at the emergency center. They connect their notebooks to a switch, behind we provide our AREDN network. We talk about non-HAM's and non-IT-specialists...so they just expect to be able to work as usual and start their e-mail client, e.g. outlook. The programs try to fetch data from the respective mail server, e.g. for user1@community1.eu or user911@police.org. Of course these servers are not reachable, because the internet is down...
What if a software in the AREDN network would capture such connection requests, automatically create a "mirror account" for each "calling" account in an email server like e.g. citadel and simulate that the respective servers are available...so that user1@community1.eu could exchange emails with user911@police.org...without the users having to change anything in their email client? What do you think, is this feasible (or does something like this already exist)?
Waiting for your comments.
Kind regards,
Kurt HB9XCL

If you were to be able to get around the account issues - that would leave a MASSIVE security hole.
Thanks!
