The POP3 service is a simple as it can get, and is in all versions of 2003 Server. It simply a drop box service, when the two are installed the basic interface only allows to set up standard mail boxes, no forwards, aliases, vacation, etc.
Why, if SMTP and POP3 are included and fully supproted on Web eddition, would the EULA forbid use of those services from a competitive provider? That wouldn't hold up very well in court. If they did not intend Web edition to work with those services under EULA, they should not have included them in the build. Unless you use NT registry, Iamil does not use anything other than the system account, i.e. all client access is anonymous from the internet according to the system, much like using web form authentication on a web app. As a matter of fact, many hosting services are deploying Web edition for their new Windows platform servers, and allowing or providing MTA's other than Microsoft. Now exchange would be a different world, since exchange itself requires CAL's.

Andrew, I knew it had a much improved SMTP server, but I didn't know that Microsoft had completed their mail services. They now include POP? So Web Server 2003 has a complete mail server included? Anybody know how good it is? I've heard that the 2003 SMTP server is supposed to be very fast and could rival some of the high volume *nix systems. Somebody out there must have played around with one of these monsters. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Ogilvie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 5:58 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Windows 2003 Server versions? > At 05:30 22/09/2003 -0500, you wrote: > > > >"Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, can be used solely to deploy Web pages, > >Web sites, Web applications, and Web services.
