Re: Ot: mail servers?
As i am thinking about getting a domain i also think about getting my own mail server software. Could anyone advice on a free or low cost solution that could work under Win XP? Can highly recommend Mailtraq as a mail server. It has pretty much all the functionality that an Exchange Server has but at a fraction of the cost. Highly configurable and flexible. We use it here and although we run under Windows 2000 I know that it works under windows XP. Have a look at www.mailtraq.com for more info. There is also a 30 day trial version for you to try-before-you-buy Steve Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Krister, As i am thinking about getting a domain i also think about getting my own mail server software. Make sure you take a look and try Mercury/32 (http://www.pmail.com). -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Mercury32 (http://www.pmail.com) is free and extremely flexible. I has modules to do just about anything you would want. However, I've never tried it under XP and don't know what the author claims, but I would be very surprised if it didn't work. There is an active mailing list/support group at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know your particular situation, of course, but allow me to point out a couple of things. First, running your own SMTP for outbound mail is becoming increasingly difficult because many of the servers you will connect with are using blacklists which refuse mail from any IP which is in a dynamically assigned block. They are trying to avoid spam sent out by servers operated by spammers. So if you are on a dialup connection, or if you have broadband with an IP assigned via DHCP, you may have problems with some outbound mail. Second, and again on the subject of SMTP, to receive mail you must be online full time, or inbound mail will bounce. There are, however, services which will hold/forward mail if your system is down. Also, you must have an open port to allow inbound access to your SMTP server, while without the server your system can be virtually invisible on the internet. I ran my own server(s) for quite a few years, but have given it up given the current environment. Just a few thoughts.

Ipswitch has a free six user server. It's a stripped down version of their $1500 Imail server. This is OT for the list.
