You need the internet mail service in order to receive SMTP mail from the outside world. As a by product, it provides POP3 access also. You don't have to use POP3 is you are using an exchange aware client like outlook. Generally, You set up each user with their own mailbox. The user can then check their mail using whatever means (outlook w/exchange or POP3) I think you may need to do some reading up on Exchange. Version 5.0 is similar in most ways to version 5.5. I still maintain one of my clients Exchange 5.0 system. It works pretty well once you get it working if you just leave it alone. Please be aware that there is no direct way to stop Exchange 5.0 from being an open relay (that I am aware of.) It's missing some of the routing features that 5.5 has. Spammers will love you and the world will hate you. The best option is to set up a more secure SMTP relay to relay the mail to Exchange 5.0. -Kevin _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
