The POP3 service they include is stripped down (probably POP3 version of
the old Microsoft Postoffice storage, remember that?), and uses a local
store, I only played with it for about an hour before opting to a
different solution (it is the same POP3 service as in all versions of
2003 Server), I never fully checked where it dumped files, but I doubt
it used anything as complex as Exchange uses for storage. I would
venture, the most complexity used would be more like mbox or OE mail
stores, may just use maildir style.

So, you can't install AV on the server to protect it?

Or any type of firewall to prevent hacking?

It isn't quite that restrictive.  However, you would have to determine
if an
application installed was being "used" by web users: A/V for the server
would be ok, but AV to scan mail received would probably be prohibited.
Possibly the same for anti-spam run inside the mail server.

On the other hand, a java based web program to delete/manage spam that
was
accessed via web pages served by the web server should be entirely fine.

However -- if POP3 services are allowed, the implication is that the
data is
stored somewhere.  In the MS scenario, that would be in exchange.  It
CANNOT
be installed on the web server ed. (or would be mentioned explicitly).
I
would then assume they do NOT mean you can install any other email
server
there either -- you can run SMTP (for store/relay) included with the
system
or as a poor mail server and POP3 (but must store the mail data
elsewhere).
