I didn't try IIS SMTP5 under XP myself, but I used it under W2K Pro when I still used Windows at home. This week I have been made SMTP Stress Test for some MTA either under Win or Linux and one of them is IIS SMTP combine with Mail Essentials under W2K Advance Server, it can accept 5.8 msg/seconds while bombing with 500 messages from other PC, not bad IMHO. If you are using ADSL or Cable connection, you may run own MTA using IIS SMTP combine with dynamic DNS services such DNS2GO or such. There is free POP3 daemon we can use with IIS SMTP (I forgot the links and the name you may googling it, maybe still in my FTP server somewhere in /freeware directory). -- syafril --- Syafril Hermansyah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com

IIS needs be installed itself after XP Pro has installed (it is on the XP Pro CD) but I would be very leery of utilizing IIS for FTP, WEB or SMTP. Sorry to say it but it can be very unsecure if one is not up on IIS security, can be a pain after install if you let IIS install to default directories and then wish to change the directory pointers and the most common complaint with IIS, that I have seen, is that after install many have problems starting IIS services and get numerous errors as to why the services won't start even though the dependencies are operational.
