Ok guys, i'm basically after a free, easy to use stable mailserver that i can set up to get e-mail for the family on my main server and then they can use outlook to get their e-mail from the mail server. Basically exchange server is a bit over kill i think. Any ideas, prefebly one that is well supported and opensource, something along the lines of the excellent video lan client, but a mail server if u get what i mean.
thanks

The guys who wrote Pegasus IIRC do a Windows mail server. I used it about four years back, can't remember the name but I'm sure a google will find it. Supports IMAP too.
You will want to use IIS 6 that come with 2k3 though as previous versions only have a SMTP server and no POP3 server.
Winroute pro has a passable mail server. Its mailny a proxy server but has mail features. Piece of cake to set up too.
Ok I didn't know older versions of IIS didn't have full email server support

MerakMail server
burrotech Office mail Server
are the two main ones you could look at
I've been using this for a while now Linky it does loads more than just mail and it's free for the 5 user version. But to be honest it's not that expensive if you've got more than 5 clients
I shoot things with a Canon
Merak is excellent, been using it for a couple of years now and it just keeps on going! Fantastic software

Ipswitch Mail server is another
Free for small users.

What operating system? If it's Linux, qmail or postfix are the best. Avoid sendmail like the plague.
