Hello All! I've been a lurker here off and on for the past several months and have a few questions that hopefully some of you can answer. Our ISP is currently hosting our email boxes on their own NT 4 server (Imail 6.00). We currently want to bring email in house because our connection goes down every week or so and no one can explain it nor offer solutions when it magically comes back up after rebooting both routers. The machine we will be putting it on is a PIII800 with 256MB of RAM running Windows 2K pro and a 10GB HD. Our ISP has agreed to provide us with the data an registry keys, but wants to bill us $85 per hour consulting fee and estimates 3 hours. My company would like to keep this as cheap as possible, so here are some questions: 1. What EXACTLY do I need them to zip up for me? I understand I need both the files AND some registry keys. Which are they? 2. Is it true that there needs to be no modifications made when going from NT4 server to Win2k Pro (non server?) 3. Physically, we will connect the NIC card of the mail server on the DMZ port of our firewall (Watchguard Firebox II). Is this the best place for it? 4. What do I need to do so that if the internet T1 connection goes down, all internal users at the same physical location as the firewall and mail server can still access email? 5. Is there anything I need to be aware of or watch out for when installing the software itself for the first time? I am a relative newbee when it comes to IP stuff, so go easy on me. The more detailed and specific you can be, the better. Lastly, I've been told that phone support is also going to be $85/hour. If anyone who has done this before might be able to beat this price or is in the St. Louis, MO area that might be available for onsite consulting, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks in advance for all of your help.
