Mail Servers, and more....

[tteknos]

Hello,

I am wondering if any of you can offer input towards some questions I have. We have a small company here, less than 50 people using PC's. We just purchased a Win2k machien to replace this old linux box as our Internet Proxy and Email Server. I was wondering if you guys could recommend some software (leaning towards free-$300 range here) that could do all of these features, of each of them individually, and well. I know Apache as known as the best free web server, and basically wanted to know what was known as the best free mail server. Also would like some way to integrate anti-virus with it. Thanks in advance for any advice, and sorry for rambling on and on.

There are so many free e-mail servers out there but here is a link to several of them.

I know there's literally 100's of them. I'm just asking for input from experienced users who've tried some of these products =)

I use OmniQuad MailWall as an SMTP server to collect e-mails for our MS Exchange Server, but it can act as a standalone POP3 server, it can integrate with most Antivirus applications for scanning mail and stuff....
I also use Winroute Pro as a proxy server.

they are both easy to setup and use, and I don't remember them being very expensive.

hope this helps.

If you purchased a Win2k machine, you don't need to buy additional software. IIS will run your web site just fine. And, it comes with Win2k.
