Looking for a cheapy/freeware/shareware email server program...

Needs to be able to cope with smtp & pop & preferably be able to run as a service. Currently using Exchange but thats a bit overkill for home Needs to be able to deal with multiple accounts as well. Upto 5-user but untold mailboxes. Scheduling & on-demand send/receive.

I know of vPop & Windis - any others or recommendations?

I use VPOP3, but AFAIK David Harris's Mercury Mail Transport is free. I use the Pegasus Mail client that he also wrote. See http://www.pmail.gen.nz/

Mdeamon (sp?) and winroute are two that I have used.

Winroute is brilliant but relatively expensive www.winroute.com

Mdeamon is good apparently but I haven't used it..

MDaemon was excellent, but now its even better with the free anti-virus plug-in that scans all incoming mail.

www.mdaemon.com

I've been using it for years without any problems.

Hiya M8.

Merak mailserver http://www.icewarp.com is pretty good but costs $300.

Argo http://www.argosoft.com is a bit more basic, but is cheaper ($88)

Both can be used first before deciding.

The Argo one works, but I didn't fancy running loads of domains/users on it as I didn't get the 24/7 feeling about it.

Been running Merak on a machine in telehouse for two months now without (touch wood) any problems.... (stupid statement to make!)

vpop is excelent we used it where I used to work and it handled 50 users and need virtually no maintanance. 5 stars
