Replying to Local Mail Server

Try mercury mail and also the Pegasus mail client, it is free (both of them) and just do a search for Mercury mail and it will work on a LAN I used it on my own little LAN for testing purposes.

There is a program called exchange that i use at work and allows you to send internal emails on a network. It runs through Microsoft outlook. I dont know what the sort of prices you are looking at as the company have paid for it.

When I install a package with appache+mysql+php, I found a subdirectior with the program "sendmail.exe". My OS is windows 2000. The readme said that the program is support for mail() function in php code. If you can configured it properly, I think you could use php to support you need.

P.S. I failed to configure it. After I tried, no mail sent actually.

Does it have to be emails? Is this for sending messages out to the other two computers? If so, I recommend using the Messenger Service to do this. Take a look at this Microsoft Article for more information. By using that function you will be able to send messages that will popup on the screen instantly.

I have here three PCs connected to a LAN between them and to Internet through one of them (Internet Conncetion Sharing). The question is, how can I make them send e-mails locally and not via Internet. Do I need some special software (the main comp is running under Windows XP Prof and the other two has Win2000 and WinXP Pro) ?

Thank's in advance.
