SMTPBeamer on my Windows 2003 Web server
This is an easy-to-set-up e-mail server. Enable advanced features as you go. I started out downloading the catchall POP3 mail from my first hosted domain years ago with SMTPBeamer. Today, I use SMTPBeamer on my Windows 2003 Web server. It handles the mail for all my domains and the domains I host. You can setup SMTPBeamer yourself. Just follow the instructions on the bottom of this page.

SMTP is only useful as a transport protocol between mail servers. It does not deliver mail to a user’s mailbox, nor allow remote users to retrieve mail from the server. Local delivery is a function of the mail system in use. For example, cc:Mail uses a disk-based postoffice to store mail for each individual user on that system. An SMTP server for cc:Mail would accept messages on behalf of the cc:Mail users, but would not necessarily deliver that mail to the user. The cc:Mail postoffice server would likely handle the local delivery independently of the SMTP gateway.

Setting Up POP3 and SMTP E-Mail Accounts in Outlook XPby David Horowitz |

| Perhaps you’d like to learn a little more about setting up POP3/SMTP access from Outlook. Well, you’re in luck – keep reading! POP3 - The Technical StuffPOP3 stands for Post Office Protocol - Version 3. The “governing body” that specifies how POP3 works is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IETF main web site is www.ietf.org. You can find detailed information about POP3 on the IETF RFC Editor web site – www.rfc-editor.org. Specifically, the POP3 specification document can be found at ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1939.txt. read more... |
I was asked some time ago to develop software which involved extracting bodies and subject lines from emails. "Humm ...", I thought, "connect to mail server on 110, send POP3 commands, receive data, sorted!". Indeed, at my first attempt it was a piece of cake: reading emails - no problem. Colleagues working at my company were evangelizing about what we could do: "Yeah mate, we can automatically process emails, no sweat".
This is a full-transparent proxy-server for email clients. It runs on a Linux box with iptables (for port re-direction)[1]. It can be used to provide email scanning from the internet, to any internal network and is ideal for helping to protect your "Other OS" LAN from harm, especially when used in conjunction with a firewall and other Internet Proxy servers.
It is designed to enable scanning of incoming/outgoing email messages for Virus's, Worms, Trojans, Spam (read as "Un-solicited Bulk Email"), and harmfull attachments. Because viewing HTML mail can enable a "Spammer" to validate an email address (via Web bugs), it can also provide HTML stripping.

P3Scan is a derived work of POP3VScan as written by Folke Ashberg
It's intent is to provide a follow on program to POP3-Virusscan-Proxy 0.4
It is based upon his program but provides numerous changes to include scanning email for spam, hardening the program, addaption to today's email environment, and many, many other changes.
