Hi Gustav: Thanks for the heads up Gustav. :-) It does seem that I will have to keep an old XP/Server2003 box (virtualized) anyways as I still have licences for Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/inDesign and don't want to have to go the Cloud route and those monthly payment schedules. As well I need ConvertVMWare so I can hot and cold clone Windows installations. I ran up hServer on my Linux box, using Wine and it apparently it really works well. Other than network conflicts on ports 25,110 and 143, as expected and that I have not setup my MariaDB receipt port yet on my server2008 (just running it on localhost for the moment). A friend has been using Mercury mail server for his server clients for around fifteen years and it apparently still does the job. ;-) Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gustav Brock" <gustav at cactus.dk> To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 11:22:37 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Want to run you own EMail server Hi Jim > all you need is a 64bit box with 8 to 16 GB of RAM. "all"? That could run an Exchange server. Probably overkill for most small shops. All you need is an old XP box and zero money. hMailServer: https://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/v5.5/?page=system_requirements or even W95(!)
