You may also want to investigate "groupware." I manage a Windows network at work and we've been thinking of setting up MS Exchange server. Oh, the web space and storage space used by your emails is one and the same with most hosting companies. For about $10 a month I got a domain name, 100 MB of web space and a ridiculous number of POP3 accounts that I'll never use all of. Better yet, buy a domain and cheap web hosting that'll give you enough POP accounts. Yeah theres a bit, but if anyone can give me any advice would be appreciatedĬlick to expand.My advice, just stick with your ISPs mail account. And if he does decide to check it via the web, and a new message comes in through his web browser, will it still come through to Homer (server machine) or not? My boss has a laptop so one are the factors is he often goes away and checks his email at a internet cafe or something like that, does he have to check his mail via the web or can he access his mail say through an email client like Apple Mail.ĥ. What happens if say u are rebooting Homer (server machine) and someone sends you an email does that bounce back to the sender or do I recieve the email next time I connect, if the answer is yes it will bounce back, is there a way to say have a backup plan?Ĥ.
#Apple os x server mail how to#
I understand how to setup the mail server, making a MX record at our domain registra pointing to Homer (server machine), but one thing I dont understand is once the mail arrives at homer how do you send it to the other machines on the network?ģ. Have been reading a mail server post in this forum(forgot the link) and one person said that if you are running a NAT Service (router config page is 192.168.1.254) you are not able to run a mail server, Is this true?Ģ. Now if we did go ahead and set up this mail server, there are a few questions, I have been on the forum searching up and down on articles on mail servers and have found heaps of info here but there are still few things that I dont understand, if anyone knows anything or any links that will help me, that would be cool.ġ.

So if anyone can provide me with any advice on why a mail server is a good thing with our small design company it would be appreciated. Personally I dont see the advantages in setting up your own mail server, I see more down falls, spam, virus and just more things going wrong with it than a pop3 account with our isp which we use and works fine. My boss has asked me to setup a mail server, so we can recieve emails straight into our machine and also send straight out from our machine. In just trialing things out, I have set up a web server and ftp server on one of the machines (Homer) and they work fine.
