That is available in both Professional and Server editions of Windows 2000: ---------- The Internet Information Server (IIS) software that ships with Windows Server includes a basic SMTP engine that will do what you're looking for. You can install this through the "Add/Remove Programs" section of the Control Panel. Go into the Windows Components, then into the details for IIS and find the SMTP Service. Once installed, it can be configured to accept connections on any IP/port combination on the server. You can send messages through via SMTP or writing a MSG file to the pickup folder if desired. It will handle external delivery from there. Of course you will need to also ensure that the usual e-mail rules are followed such as having a proper reverse DNS entry on the IP you're sending from, etc. ---------- I posted Olin's requirements to a server forum I infrequent, and that was the only useful response I got. But if he's running Windows 2000 Professional, there are some limitations to IIS, and the limitations that affect the mail server are not clear: http://www.iisfaq.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2596 But it's worth a try - it could be that the SMTP server is full-featured on both editions, or that the limitations won't impact Olin's particular use. -Adam -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
