Default Email Server
Hi Guys,

I would like to setup my own email server. I would to start with something freeware, and go from there. Something that can be secured and fairly easy to setup. Something that if I run into problems setting up, I could ask here for some directions. Something with a good instruction manual. Maybe a browser interface that I could answer emails online from any browser.

Thanks in advance,

Heeter

This search gives you quite a few hits:

I remember using a free Windows smtp server before and it worked quite well.

Most ISP's do not allow their users to run an email server, check with them first. The problem is most people do not know how to secure them, and they are left as open relays.

Thanks J,

I know my ISP does not allow email servers, but I am thinking of using a reflector service, or something like that, to get around this dilemma.
