Topic: Mail server

Do anyone know how to setup a mail server. I want to install in my working place.

Also need the basic ideas like how to block or allow mails with large attachments.

Re: Mail server

there is software for mailserver included in windows... at least in 2000 and 2003 server and xp versions.. just check under ad/remove programs -> add/remove windows components

Re: Mail server

bah, it works, but it seems to interfere with port 80, so not sure how it would work with your web server.

let me try to change the port...

ahh, you can change the port. i had a bit of trouble using alot of the ports with firefox, but 2095 worked fine.

Re: Mail server

In 3.3, hMailServer doesn't support fetching e-mails from an external server. Support for this will be added in version 4.0 which will be released in a couple of weeks.
