Im not sure were to post this, but I thought this might fit in the server side section best. I want to add a pop and smtp server to my server. Im running windows 2000 with apache mysql and php. I have no idea what kind of software to use. If anybody has any advice or names of software I could check out that would be great. Thanks a lot!!! ---

this is a difficult thing to do I hear, I’ve been trying to do this as well, but I haven’t figured out how yet, I do know that there’s a free email server that the same company as serv-u ftp does but I doubt it’s any good, on my notebook I installed fedora and it has an email server, but I’m still trying to figure out how to install it, I want to know too… but I’m on xp home ---

Yea. I have no idea on how to set it up… along with having my own emails at my own domains you know? like [me@mydomain.com](mailto:me@mydomain.com). Just no idea on what kind of software to use ☹ ---

Cache All?? Would james allow me to send receive emails from my [me@mydomain.com](mailto:me@mydomain.com)? and another question… Were do I add emails to my domain? will that be through the server… or is that something i need to do through the domain register? Thanks ---

I’m running QMail on my server. Along with vpopmail, courier-imap and squirrelmail. One of the main reasons I went with this solution is that it allows me to add email accounts without having to create users on the Linux box. I also found this recipe for setting it up that made it easy. It’s for Linux, but maybe you can find something similar for Windows: [http://www.shupp.org/toaster/](http://www.shupp.org/toaster/) It has worked well. Everything I need is available: POP3, IMAP and WebMail. ---

it seems like that’s more than one application, seems like it’d be much simpler to simply install james and have that working… ---

I think so, but you may have to work with your dns server to get the mx and a records setup, but don’t ask me what those are, I hae no idea, my domain register just has those and says I need them for email servers… still haven’t used them but if it starts to work i guess I will ---
