Sorry about this, but does anyone knnow of a mail server that could be used on the internet connected PC of a M$ Peer to peer network.
We are taling about software, right? I sell VPOP3 [1] and support it on 3 networks that have proved adequately reliable[2]. Recommended NT4WS, you can use W2k, and it integrates to SOPHOS antivirus. It isn't open but it is English. www.defoam.net/software/vpop3.htm There is also NTMail which has a following. [1] lets put it this way, I'm keeping the day job for the foreseeable future<g> [2] On an unfunny note, the LMC ( www.devonlmc.org ) of which I'm a member, pressed the now dissolute health authority to include a VPOP3 server in each general practice as an _internal_ mail server, back when the plan was that we would be provided with Outlook as a mail client (ptui!) and a dialup connection to the big Exchange, on whcih we would pay the line charges and call charges. I also reckoned it would keep our mail working. When the NHS contract with BT and Cable & Wireless was changed (on the basis that it wasn't going to sell the service to any of us that knew better, and neither would the others pay for it) to a top-slice and to unmetered access over our ISDN lines form the surgeries, for whcih I at least am truly grateful, the HA quietly modified the deal on VPOP3 in-house MTAs. When I got to look at one, also, it had carefully or through a lack of understanding been st up so it could not see the outside network, and as is common practice the passwords had been taken away along with the installation media for everything, (and the support contract only ran for the duration of the install work!) Ah well, the resulting system has only fallen over I think 5 times that have been admitted, and been rebuilt thrice. Meanwhile, mine works well enough that I havn't yet gone live on postfix. But I could.
