Open Source mail server

[Anon]

Does anybody know where I can get an Open Source SMTP server for sending email on Windows 2000 which also runs as a service? I would like to know if there are any alternatives to Microsoft SMTP Server. Or is there a general mailer that is used with PHP running on a Win32 ennvironment?

Cheers

The one I use(d) is called MailEnable (it's not open source, but it is free - Standard version). I tried a few open source mail servers, but when it came to ease of configuration, ability to bind to all IP addresses (my system received IP dynamically - making the other mail servers useless) and having an MMC add-in, MailEnable was the only one. WWW.MAILENABLE.COM

Hope this helps.

How about using COM objects with Ms Outlook? 🙂

This came from the php manual:

An easy way to send e-mail using your default Outlook account:
<?
$objApp = new COM("Outlook.Application");
$myItem = $objApp->CreateItem(olMailItem);
$a=$myItem->Recipients->Add("[e-mail]");
$myItem->Subject="Subject";
$myItem->Body="This is a Body Section now.....!";
$myItem->Display();
$myItem->Send();
?>
