Re: Smtp server

Hi,

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I would appreciate if somebody could tell me if it's easy to set-up an smtp server (included in cygwin distrib) on my own PC. (I'll be travelling and won't be able to use my regular smtp server as it doesn't allow access to external IP numbers).

exim.


Of course, if it's very easy, then I'd like to know how :-)

See exim.org.


(Ideally, even Outlook would talk to it, but I'd be happy with pine or so).

Any standards compliant mailer shouldn't have any trouble. See also the uw-imap package which includes both imap and ipop. That with inetutils and setting up inetd should get you set up OK.


(Of course running a mail server requires a static IP...)
