Free / Opensoucre mail server for xp

[Piru]

Running a mail server involves setting up MX records for the nameserver and stuff (so mail won't get lost during the server downtime).

Are you sure you really want to run a mail server? Why?

And why run all this on XP? Personally I wouldn't recommend running services on single user OS like Windows XP.

XP isn't a single user OS.

Try to log in remotely (RDesktop) -> the current desktop user need to log out. I call that singleuser.

(Ok, you can workaround that particular problem with VNC, but still it's single user to me)

Well, the injury must be all yours.

It's not about grabbing the desktop, but rather being able to remotely log in as user x, y and z (with different desktops/terminal) simultanously.

Only single user can use the XP machine at a time. Thus I consider it singleuser.

I'm sure there are some sort of hacks for this, but XP remote desktop doesn't allow this. It's one user at a time.

Ok, some good points there.

If I remember correctly there are telnet servers available for Windows workstation.

Does it also come with usable shell or does it give you a MS-DOS shell thingie (==horror)?

The only half usable environment I've seen is Cygwin. But if you go there, why not just install bsd/linux for real anyway. :-)
