Windows Web Edition ships with SMTP, POP3, FTP and DNS services straight from MS. They work fine and so should competing SMTP, POP3, FTP and DNS servers. I know this from practical experience.

All I'm saying is that "Web Edition" is designed to serve "web pages" only. SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, DNS, applications (ie. Imail, Declude, Sniffer, etc) and utilities (ie. Diskeeper, PCAnywhere, F-prot, AVG, etc) do NOT fall into this category and may not be completely supported. If you use it and have issues, we may not by able to help you solve them. But I know that we have had small and elusive, but nagging issues when attempting this.
