Setting up Internal Mail 1

[flipineck]

Hi all,

I've been asked to set up an Internal mail service, not for company use but just as a training exercise for a small amount of people. I must admit I feel daft asking this, I remember doing this as a part of my initial training and I remember it seemed so easy to do, but now some years later I can't remember anything about it.
I used google searches to try and blow the cobwebs away, but couldn't find anything apart from using MS Exchange Server.
It will only be in use for a week or two, so I don't want to reccomend spending vast amounts on it.
I've used this forum because we'll probally be using computers running Windows XP, though we do have access to computers runnning W98. We do also have a W2K server but are only set up as peer-peer, it's a long story. If someone thinks I'm better off in another forum, then grand, let me know and I'll happily move.

If anyones has got any tips on where to look I'd be kissing the ground with relief, I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to find some answers to it but have also had to deal with other issues.

It's got to the stage that I don't mind looking daft as long as I can find some answers, thanks all.

there is a lot of shareware out there. Look in the download section of

http://www.zdnet.com,

or search

http://www.tucows.com

for 'mail server'.

Smah, I could kiss you.
Just had a quick look at tucows and bang there they were, if only I had the sense to look there a fortnight ago.
Hopefully by dinner I'll have set something up and written working documents for it.
You've saved my skin, Cheers.
