NE1 out there use a free mail server?

I would like to set one up for about 10 addresses, something easy to use though.

Any advise/help please.

If you want a Windows mail server the open source solution is http://www.hmailserver.com/ which requires setting up with a mysql database.
Mysql is also open source

i personally prefer using linux for a mail server simply because its more stable than windows, has lower resource demands and is less prone to virus infection... considering that many viruses are transmitted through email using an OS that is easy to infect is unwise imho

There are a very very wide range of mailservers for Linux which can suit any need

I generally use ubuntu linux, clamav for virus scanning, spamassain for spam and fetchmail as the mail server.

Although Linux can be a pain to configure, once it is done it does not require constant attention unlike a windows box

 

ubuntu server is also a free download and has the ability to be deployed as a mail server from default

Hi

Thanks for the response, am looking for a Windows 2000 server based mail server.

Something thats quite stable and secure "out of the box" with the ability to allow third party virus scanning pass through.

Cheers

http://www.hmailserver.com/ will do all that for you on a win2k server, ensure its secure as these are often hijacked by spammers

 

Mailtraq is what I use.
Is spot on, I can even use a dynamic address to web mail into my server at home whilst on the move.

Its free and frankly very very good.

HTH

 

Lee,

Any chance you can mail me a copy as I'm unable to find it for free.

Regards
Brian

 

Erm, I will post a link as i do not have the install file.
Let me hunt it out.
