The main reason I don't want to host our own mail is reliability. There are a few factors involved in our network and Internet connection that don't, at the current time, make it as reliable as I think it should be to switch to hosting our own mail. I'd prefer the security of having our web host's mail server - which is up 99.5% of the time - always sitting out there able to receive our incoming mail and keep it until my server goes and gets it. It's definitely something I've thought about, though, and will definitely move to sometime in the short-term future (6 to 18 months, I think). We're going to be moving offices within the next year, and that figures into it also. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Doug [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 12:57 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: POP3 email retrieval http://www.MSExchange.org/ uhm, at the risk of sounding silly, why not host your own mail? It's easier than you think. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Nielsen [mailto:cnielsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 2:30 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: POP3 email retrieval http://www.MSExchange.org/ Thanks for the answer Doug. My main question stems from the main reason we're needing to make this move: we need more POP3 accounts than our web host will allow (not to mention they can't figure out how to live up to their claim of "unlimited redirects"). So what I want to do is get rid of ALL POP3 accounts on this external server except for the one that's made to catch all emails that don't match one of the existing POP3 accounts (which will be all mail once I delete all the accounts). Then have my POP3 connector log in under this single account and retrieve all mail and route it via Exchange to the appropriate recipient(s). What are you referring to when you say "alternate adx"? -Chris ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: cnielsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') _______________________ Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this message may be legally privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
