Re: E-Mail Server

I found this post so I didn't restart a new one. I am running a webserver and want to get an email server/program running. A guy I am working with and I are designing a website which reequires reservations sent out via email to the sender and to the owner. I am running argosoft and it works well but the problem is that it wont run as a service. So I am looking for a new program either very inexpensive ($10) or legally free like argosoft. All this is running on a dual 2GHz server running win 2003 server and connected via sDSL. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please post them.

Doesn't IIS have some mail services built in? Never used them, because the only time I've ever used windows for mail is with exchange, but something to look into.

Re: E-Mail Server

I'm not exactly sure how capable of an e-mail server you need but I run a very reliable e-mail server on a 16 MHz Macintosh SE/30 with a 40 mb hard drive and 16mb of RAM. It is Eudora Internet Mail Server. Hasn't failed me yet!

Re: E-Mail Server

Try the Mercury mail server from Pegasus. It is free and it is a mail server. http://www.pmail.com

Re: E-Mail Server

Ever thought about running linux (perhaps even CentOs or Debian)?

I run a small cluster of about 5 linux machines with Qmail and courier. Very nice. Both are free, of course.

If you are thinking of outsourcing your email, feel free to drop us a line - we are having a hosting blowout atm.

IIS does have it but when I tried using it for some reason it didn't want to work, plus IIS messes up my apache sometimes. I'm kinda staying away from windows stuff other than the OS.

from what I'm seeing it costs $40? or did you find a link for a free version?

I once tried installing Linux on one of my other computers and for some reason it didn't want to install I think it was video card issues. I have somewhere one of the more recent versions of Linux I just don't have another computer to test an install and config on. I would like to do so soon though.

Thanks for the offer on the outsourcing, I think I'll pass for now. Too expensive for now. Maybe if I get more business in the future.

The older versions of EIMS are available for free at ftp.eudora.com I spend about $40 on the machine it runs on though.

There is a port of Debian made for Motorola 68K processors which means you can run it on an old Macintosh like an SE/30 or LC III or something of the sort. Just thought I'd throw that out there if anyone ever wants to try it.

You can also run NetBSD and the whole slew of compatible stuff like Apache and PHP on one of these inexpensive and reliable machines. http://mark.is-a-geek.org

I actually re-read some of the stuff on the website I found Eudora downloads and it said there's an option for a free version within the download.

thanks
