 |
|
I'm thinking about writing my own email (pop/smtp) email server, but I have
a feeling this will be a bigger challenge than it seems on the surface.
It seems logically that it must
- send mail (from client)
- receive mail (from the outside)
- and allow users to download mail
ok, that's the depth of my understanding so far.
Is there a tutorial/"here's what you're getting yourself into" document
anywhere I should know about before I get into this?

Yes, be absolutely certain that you want to do this.

There are mail server components and applications available from the ICS
"UserMade" web page. See http://www.overbyte.be and follow "user made" link
on the left menu.

I believe http://www.dxsock.com has one in development. Don't know how far
along it is to seeing the light of day, however...
