Setting up an email server

[JohnBeals]

Is it possible to set up an email server on a Home NT4 Server with IIS? Here's my sit.

Registered Domain Name Server (let's say it's myserver.com)
Full-time connection to server via Cable Modem.
Router
IIS Installed - web server working on a NT4 Server.
Email addresses for the family using the Cable Modem Service (john@comcast.com, jane@comcast.com, etc.)

I want to set up email on the Server (john@myserver.com, jane@myserver.com, etc.) Is it possible?

TIA,
John

yes, a server is a server, so there is no problem there.

Thanks,

Obviously I haven't done this before. A little assistance to set me in the right direction would help. Do I use MailSrv?

I would use something like VPop3 (

as a local mail server which can then be used to forward external going messages to the servers and download messages from your pop3 accounts to individual accounts on your system.

Try MailEnable,

http://www.mailenable.com

the standard version is free and has POP3 and SMTP, it doesn't however download from POP3 mailboxes but you can use Popweasel to download from POP3 servers and pass on to SMTP.

but there is also:
winroute (router and mail server)
