Email Server questions

[JeffD78b]

Is there a way I can set up my webserver to also work for email with MS Outlook? I.E. can I turn it into my own POP3 server? If so, how?

What webserver software are you using?

Sendmail from www.sendmail.org (http://www.sendmail.org) is always an option.

What operating system are you using? If you are using Linux or Unix then I would suggest using Exim or Qmail. I would try to stay away from sendmail. It is a very bloated and insecure program. It has more holes in it than swiss cheese. I'll agree that most of the email sent on the web these days is done by sendmail,(with high paid admins running it) but exim and qmail are much better choices.

If I were you I wouldnt TOUCH sendmail.
