Hi guys. Quick Question |
|
|
I've just found this group, I hope this is the right place for it... If not
maybe you could tell me where I should be asking?
I have a question you guys will probably be able to answer in 2 seconds.
At the moment I have cheap email server software running on a machine that
collects and sends email via my ISP. Can you configure Exchange Server to do
the same thing. I have got a trial version of Exchange that I'd like to use
if this is possible.
The way it works now is;
I have one account at my ISP (@username.ISP.co.uk)
All my family have their first name as their email
(firstname@username.isp.co.uk)
The mail server collects all emails for @username.isp.co.uk and distributes
it to the correct person...
I understand this is relaying it?
Will this work with Exchange?
Thanks in advance

Exchange doesn't have a POP connector (although one is included with SBS -
small business server). So, natively, no. You could look into a third party
POP connector if you wish - there are many.
However, registering an Internet domain name is pretty inexpensive & you can
use that to host your own mail on the Exchange server directly, which is a
much better option in the long run. |

Thanks for that, I will look into it as I also want to host my website
locally.
Thanks again

By the way, how would this work if I have a dynamic IP address for the
Internet?

I've sorted it using Small Busines Server (eval copy)... only problem is
where to find an affordable full version of it...

SBS is great and doesn't cost too much.
Note - I strongly discourage hosting a website on this server or any server
on your LAN - Outlook Web Access (accessible via SSL/443 only) is as far as
you really ought to go, only because it's a necessary evil for webmail
access & is a good feature.
Getting an external web hosting account for publicly-accessible websites is
a much better option for small/home offices - I've seen them as cheap as $6
USD per month. |

www.dyndns.org is what I'd use - there's also www.no-ip.com and many other
dynamic DNS providers. |
