Also, try LumiSoft Mail Server, open source windows mail server, supports SMTP, SMTP RELAY, IMAP and POP3.

It can be configured either with SQL or XML backend, and we use it all the time!

I’ve been using SmarterMail 5.x with Windows 2008 and it’s running perfectly.

Just upgraded on server to 2008 and it looks like windows 2003 on virtual server is the easiest option to get the mail server up and running

Thanks for the Input Christoph! Merak Mailserver is also looking nice. Some years ago we used Tobit Infocenter but weren’t satisfied with it, Merak seems to be a good alternative for that.

We’re using Merak Mailserver for some customers. This app runs stable and is easy to use and relative cheap.

If you only want do send mails and don’t need pop3-accounts, stay with the builtin-smtp-Server. It works flawless here, we had never any specific problems with it (2000 and 2003 Server).

It’s a pity that Microsoft could not deliver a simple, but usable POP3-Server out-of-the-box.
Buying Exchange is not an option, so we use a Linux-Server for some cases instead.

The built-in-pop3-server of Windows 2003 Server is missing aliases and forwarding and some other indispensable features – ashaming, but MS wants to sell their Exchange-Software, in spite of this is way to big and overburdened for many cases.
