Easily configure Windows2003's own mail server

Last night to discuss with friends about the smtp authentication problem with the mail server 2003, so I made a verification today.

First, install POP3 and SMTP service components

Windows Server 2003 does not install POP3 and SMTP service components by default, so we have to add them manually.

1. Install the POP3 Service Component

Log in to the Windows Server 2003 system as a system administrator. Go to “Control Panel → Add or Remove Programs & Rarr; Add/Remove Windows Components", in the pop-up "Windows Components Wizard" dialog box, select the "Email Service" option, click “Details The ” button, you can see that this option includes two parts: POP3 service and POP3 service web management. In order to facilitate users to manage the mail server remotely, it is recommended to select “POP 3 Service Web Management”.

2. Install the SMTP service component

Select the "Application server" option, click the "Details" button, and then in the "Internet Information Services (IIS)" option To view the details, select the “SMTP Service” option and finally click the “OK” button. In addition, if users need remote web management of the mail server, be sure to select the "Remote Management (HTML)" component in the "World Wide Web Service". After completing the above settings, click the “Next” button and the system will start to install and configure POP3 and SMTP services.

Second, configure POP3 server

1. Create a mail domain

Click “ Start → Management Tools & Rarr; POP3 Service & rdquo;, pop-up POP3 service console window. After selecting the POP3 service in the left column, click the “new domain” in the right column to bring up the “Add Domain” dialog box, and then enter the domain name of the mail server in the “Domain Name” field, which is the email address. “@”The following sections, such as “MAIL.COM”, last click on the “OK” button.

2.Create a user mailbox

Select the newly created “MAIL.COM” domain, click “Add Mailbox in the right column, pop-up Add Mailbox dialog box, in “ Enter the mail user name in the mailbox name, then set the user password, and finally click the <;OK” button to complete the mailbox creation,
