Greetings. I have been running Mercury/32 on Win2000 for several years (starting before I was "enlightened" and started using Linux).
This past week, David Harris announced that he would no longer be developing Mercury/32 as of this month. While I still like the software, I'm starting to look elsewhere for a mail server. I have been playing with Courier on an old Linux box (kept for the purpose of trying software). Being on a residential cable ISP, one of my requirements for a mail server is that the server have a "POP3 client" that allows me to go to a domain mailbox at my URL host and grab all the domain's mail and then distribute. (I am aware of "Dynamic DNS port-diversion to get around the "NO SERVERS ALLOWED" prohibition; after having a server running and being shut down for it with a warning, I don't want to even go there). Does Courier have such a feature? If not Courier, any other LINUX mailservers? My current configuration for Mercury/32 is as follows: ON THE INTERNET: *POP3 client for going to the Internet to domain mailboxes and fetching EMAIL. *SMTP server that does a sort of "end to end", or takes outgoing mail and sends it via another SMTP server. This avoids mail being rejected by those EMAIL servers who do not allow EMAIL to come from a system with a dynamic IP address. ON THE LAN: POP3 server IMAP server SMTP I also host a couple of lists, but I see that Courier does that also. Thanks!
