I have a Windows 2003 standard server that runs our internal company program.
The program is configured to use the servers email system. There is not
exchange on the server just smtp for sending and I'm not sure what is
configured for receiving. I have talked with support for the program and
they informed me that you just point the mx record to the ip of the server
and it will receive email. This doesn't make any sense to me. How does it
route to email boxes and such? I thought maybe it was a pop service but I
checked add/remove programs and pop is not installed either. Can anyone
point me in the right direction? Thanks

http://www.hmailserver.com/ is a free email server for Windows, and it
includes all the documentation on how to set it up!

HTH!

RE: Windows 2003 Standard incoming email

It is already receiving email. I am just not sure what it is using to
receive email. I am trying to find a configurable section.

Here is my situation. I have Mailserver1 that is configured by a 3rd party
that has email capabilities. I spoke with them and they claim to be using
the built in Windows Server email. I have found the smtp virtual server in
iis. I can not find anything that has to do with the incoming email.
Secondly I have an exchange server on a completely different domain that I
administer. When mailserver1 attempts to send mail to my exchange server it
won't work. It can however send email to external email addresses (ex.
hotmail, yahoo).
