Free / Opensoucre mail server for xp

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.

But I wouldn't recommend running server-stuff on a machine you use as a workstation.  Added security risk and all that.

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

That's because Remote Desktop is the light version of Terminal Services.

I run my sites and email off my own server, running Win2k Server.  I use VNC over SSH for remote admin, vpop3 for email, and IIS for web/ftp.

vpop3 isn't free, but it is quite cheap, and IMO, good value for money.

Cgywin is so half-arsed on Windows.  To make any use of it, I had to do NTFS junctioning all over the place.  Trying to force Windows into such a setup would require a clever virtual filesystem, rather than an actual one being part of the filesystem, claiming to be one itself.

If I were designing cygwin, I would have made /bin to include/handle all of the command paths in Windows, so a list of commands would be in there.  /usr would redirect to the Program Files directory assignment, /home would be Documents and Settings, and so on.  Additional data drives would be mounted in /usr or /mnt.
