There are a bunch. Linux has qmail and a lot of people use that. I personally like MailEnable for Windows. It is free and works great. Here it is:
There is quite a bit of info there.
The total set up is a little complicated for a quick answer,but here is the short story.
Get the server running and set up a few test users.
Register the domain
Point the MX record of the domain to the servers public IP (If you don’t have a static IP you need one)
Forward port 110 and 25 to the server on the router
Test it and see if you have got it.
That is about it. The big two things you probably don’t have are the static IP and the domain registration. You need to talk to your ISP about the IP and you can register a domain at or.
Your other option is to get a third pary host. There are plenty of them around and you get some help this way. Yahoo has a business service that does it. The main disadvantage here is that they charge you every month for somthing that is pretty easy to do yourself.
