Mail Server

mail server?
please tell me the names of sites which have the complete info.about email server,client.such as how it works,what are its components,wat r the requirements if we want to create mail server...means each and every part of mailing system.

There are a bunch. Linux has qmail and a lot of people use that. I personally like MailEnable for Windows. It is free and works great. Here it is: http://www.mailenable.com/ There is quite a bit of info there. The total set up is a little complicated for a quick answer,but here is the short story. Get the server running and set up a few test users. Register the domain Point the MX record of the domain to the servers public IP (If you don't have a static IP you need one) Forward port 110 and 25 to the server on the router Test it and see if you have got it. That is about it. The big two things you probably don't have are the static IP and the domain registration. You need to talk to your ISP about the IP and you can register a domain at http://register.com or http://godaddy.com. Your other option is to get a third pary host. There are plenty of them around and you get some help this way. Yahoo has a business service that does it. The main disadvantage here is that they charge you every month for somthing that is pretty easy to do yourself. http://smallbusiness.att.yahoo.com/email/index.php

How much would an IT consultant charge to setup a complete Linux Mail server?
Does anyone know how much an IT consultant could possibly charge to set up a complete Linux Mail server from start to finish? I'm talking about the whole works here. Remote Admin, Security, User Mailboxes, Quota, Spam Protection, Database setup, Web mail, Outlook facility, auto update and backups, installed on site, etc. Just curious as to what something like this would cost if done professionally?

are you referring to your yahoo account or an outside account like comcast, verizon or some other service provider? if the latter, you would have to call them and they can tell you, if it is yahoo.

What is the outgoing mail server at ball state?
I'm trying to get mail (mac) to work with my browser based school e-mail... I've got the incoming server it's webmail.bsu.edu, and I know it is an imap. I've set the outgoing to smtp.bsu.edu, but it isn't working. I'm able to recieve, delete, and synchronize just fine, but I am unable to send e-mail out. The diagnostic says it's unable to connect to smtp.bsu.edu.

The outgoing server is the one for the ISP you are currently connected to, if you are not on the bsu.edu domain, this outgoing server is not going to work for you. Also, the only restriction on IMAP outgoing servers are the ones that you can reach from the internet (ping). Try using ATT Wireless's SMTP outgoing at cwmx.com. It would be interesting if it worked. Otherwise try contacting the ISP's network you are currently on or go to their website and search IMAP Outgoing Server.

How do I stop a yahoo mail server pop-up?
I keep having a pop-up window on my computer, even when I'm not online, that asks me for my user name and password. It says its from the yahoo mail server. I'm not sure why it even started. What do I do?

that doesn't sound like pop mail. It sounds like yahoo messenger. It could have been downloaded by someone using your computer or maybe part of your toolbar. check your desktop and start menu to see if theres anything that mention messenger. If it is on your computer it will be listed in your control panel and can be deleted through the control panel. If you want the messenger you can go into preferences and uncheck that box that says starts when computer reboots.
