Mail Server Mazdak19-Aug-02 22:51 Mazdak 19-Aug-02 22:51  I want to have a mail server acount on my win2000 advanced server.How can I gain it?

It should have been installed by default, though it may not be running. A New Adjective Is Born!

There's very little info about using it (search on 'mail.chm') but I'm not sure what you're asking for in particular. The SMTP service gives you the capability for sending, receiving, and relaying emails for various domains you enter, but has no user interface of its own. A New Adjective Is Born! Re: Mail Server Mazdak21-Aug-02 2:34 Mazdak 21-Aug-02 2:34  Thank you Roger.I'll check it.The thing I exactly want is for SQLServer mail.For SQLServer mail I have to have mail server defined on my computer.

Read the documentation and see what you can make of it. I don't understand it particularly, having not spent much time on it, but I think that it's probably exactly what you need for SQLServer Mail. If I understand what I read while skimming through it,you can set it up to handle mail from multiple domains, yei they make the distinction that a mail domain is different from a host domain - I don't quite get that, but maybe it will make sense to you.

Both clients want to be able to email among hosts within the LAN; in both offices, one person is designated to receive and handle Internet emails for the company. I have searched through all of the online help and documentation I can locate, but there is absolutely no information about how to set up interoffice email communication! Every topic related to email returns instructions about how to set up an Internet email account! Getting unique Internet email addresses is not an option, as the local ISPs will not provide more than one per account. This used to be incredibly easy with Microsoft Mail. What has taken its place, if anything? Or does XP require that every host have its own Internet account with a permanent connection to the 'net? Has anybody done this, or are my clients the only ones left in the world that want to communicate with their coworkers? <marquee>"Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?"

You can always setup a P100 Machine to act as your mail server under Linux. All you need to make sure is that you have enough free disk space to hold incoming and stored e-mails. Regards, Venet.

It would be completely out of the question for cost reasons alone, disregarding the fact that Exchange is a piece of s*&t. This is a Peer-to-Peer arrangement, and has to be dirt cheap. That excludes even an old foot-warmer PC running Linux. Older versions of Windows allowed a single peer to be designated the 'post office' for the workgroup, and Mail was used to connect the other peers to the po machine. Outlook Express (and I assume Outlook) could be configured for the user's account and directed to the po for the user on the postoffice machine. I expected to find some rudimentary function still included in WinXP. There must be some way to do this, else there'd be a howling in the trade mags from small businesses who don't own servers. The lack of complaints is a hint to me that I'm missing something, not WinXP. The installation as provided by Dell includes MSN Explorer as well as Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if the formaer may include the functionality I'm looking for. But everytime I open it, it tries to create an Internet connection, so I'm suspicious that it may be a sneaky way to con my clients into signing up for MSN service.

Nature of my job is to write networking software (although this will be only for a few weeks more ), eventhugh I don't maintain any network (manually that is) . And all the OS knowledge I learned form my 100 MHz, 32 RAM machine, although it's a pity that life circumstances didn't allow me to start with computers earlier!

Re: InterLAN Email in WinXP Roger Wright17-Aug-02 5:30 Roger Wright 17-Aug-02 5:30  Damn! You do remarkably well for having only worked with these things for three years. I've been at it for over 25 years and still struggle to keep up. I have to admit, though, that I resisted computers for many years. My job was to design electronics, and until after I was laid off, there were no computer tools that did anything to help me with that. Some of the new CAD tools available today would have been welcomed, but they didn't exist, and I could do everything I needed to do with a pencil and paper. My designs needed programs to run them, and these I enjoyed designing and coding, in a dozen languages and as many operating systems and hardware environments. But I didn't start learning PCs until I was unemployed and needing some way to eke out a living. It's always nice to get your input - I have not one person here to swap ideas with, and no one to learn from. It makes it awfully hard to make any progress. Like this mail problem, I know someone has done it. If I was in a big city (yuck) I would probably bump into someone in a bar one night who could tell me in two sentences how to solve it. But there is no one here who has ever done it, so I'm stuck flailing around in the dark chasing random clues. Frustrating. <marquee>"Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?"

Roger Wright wrote: But there is no one here who has ever done it, so I'm stuck flailing around in the dark chasing random clues. I'm the same boots really. I remember when I was in 1st and 2nd year of college, there was absolutely nobody to talk to about different computing issues (of course I haven't heard about CP then). Very very frustrating. So I had to do everything by experiment. Now it's very good as the place I'm working on is a research group so they are very clued in to these issues. Anyway, did you manage to sort out that problem?

Nope. There are no clues at all! Everything in XP assumes universal access to the Internet, and that everyone has an email account. From all the information available it would appear that peers in workgroups can't talk to each other using email in XP, and I'm certain that's not true. I bought the MCSE text for XP Professional this week and read it, and it never mentioned the subject, either. I suppose I could write a mini-exchange server and install it on one client machine, but I really don't know where to start with that. There's probably a good example or two on CP, though, so that would be my first place to research the project. But what the heck do small offices do when there's no one around to write custom software for them? Grrrr. <marquee>"Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

I'm suspecting that maybe the answer is in the Outlook documentation, though it shouldn't be, as there are many other options for email clients that should be usable. <marquee>"Knock, knock."
