ArGoSoft: A FREEWARE MAIL SERVER
APPENDIX D
Various SMTP servers are available on the Internet.
Below is a description of the ArGoSoft Mail Server freeware (version 1.8.8.9), downloadable at the link:
http://www.argosoft.com
.
After installation, when first started the screen shown in Figure D.a is displayed.
The “Listening on port …” messages confirm that:
•
SMTP Server started: the server that
pCOWeb
will send the messages to is running.
IMPORTANT: if another SMTP manager is already active, port 25 will be busy and the service will not be started. Close the other manager.
•
POP3 Server started: the server that the e-mail client will download the messages from is running.
IMPORTANT: if another POP3 manager is already active, port 110 will be busy and the service will not be started. Close the other manager.
•
Finger Server started: optional service not used by
pCOWeb
; ignore.
•
Web Server started: the server to access the MAILBOX from an Internet Browser is running.
IMPORTANT: if port 80 is busy, the web server will not be started; the Skype application, for example, uses port 80; another port can be selected in
the configuration (for access via browser the port will need to be specified), or alternatively close Skype or any other applications that occupy port 80.
