Internet Mail Server Recomendations

I thought the same thing.... The POP3 server in Windoes 2003 is integrated with windows users and domains, so I still think people is going to buy 3rd party mailservers so they can create mail-users that are not windows users... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Ah, that's a comforting thought...

Hmmmm. I wonder if there's a way to steal just the POP3 stuff off the trial CD and make it work with Win2K Server?:-O "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal. It makes them soggy and hard to light" - Sign in a Bullhead City, AZ Restroom

LOL, probably not :( - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

But if you choose *NOT* to do Domain Authentication, you can use standard clear text to any user or domain name. :confused: ... Actually lets just setup a new Mail server on 2003 and find out what it can and can't do ... :wtf:

I tried installing IIS 6 on XP Pro, to put it simply I was given the option to retreat or the self destruct sequence would start. I decided to try my luck on self destruct. Long story short the self-destruct crashed after deleting it self and the possibility of installing IIS 5 on XP without a little "tweaking". Matt

On my NT4 machine, I use the Internet Anywhere mail server from True North[^]. It's a rock solid application.

There are 10 kinds of people - those that get binary and those that don't.

What I mean is... To add a mail account you have to make a new windows user. On my mailserver I have something like 50 or 60 users that use it every day, but none of them are windows users on that machine, they are only created in the mailserver. You cannot do that with the Windows 2003 POP3 Server... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

You didn't started coding your mail server thinking it was the first one on Earth, right? And there are lots of free ones, too. I deduce probably your mail server has some feature targeting a specifc niche that other mail servers don't have. So, how would this change on your plans?

IIS 6 now runs at kernel level, and uses several new Windows 2003 APIs. It wouldn't work. My latest article: GBVB - Converting VB.NET code to C#

No, but if one comes integrated with Windows itself, people might have little incentive to look elsewhere. Yes, there are free ones out there too. I got into all this knowing fully well what I was getting into, so yes, I should not get too disturbed over this. It doesn' change my plans, except hurry up a bit. ;)

There is a multi-domain SMTP/POP3 server here on CP written in C# with full source code. Been using it probably for close to a year now (found it in the original post to C-SharpCorner.com). Rocky Moore <><
