dear fellow programmers what is needed to have a mailing system where users can register e-mails for them with their login name I am ASP develper and I need it to be done on a windows server and MsSQL database, please tell me what are the possibilities to have such a system
You need a email server , and an API to connect to it. Actually you dont even need an API......just connect to the server via the email port and send commands and get data back!
What do you mean? If you mean where users can sign-up for an email account etc, then you could SocketMail a go for $99 or @Mail is a real pro webmail but that will set you back a grand or more. Like I said, I didn't really understand what you were asking, but if I did understand then the 2 products above should be good. Both come with source code so you can modify it yourself to fit your needs.
SocketMail is almost what I need, its design is not a good one. But what I need is that I have a good domain which can be used for creating a free e-mail system for users. Now I don't know, can i do it with a Windows 2003 server, I have a limitation of 5 accounts on that server, what can I do, order a dedicated server and then put let's say SocketMail on it? will it work out ?
I am using smartertools smartmail with a custom .net API....it sucks...spam is really hard to keep up with. They're server was not designed for free email usage. Mailenable would be better...but they're webmail is pretty lame. I'm checking into socketmail to see if it runs on w2k3 now...think it would be more geared towards this. If your going for a free email service...be ready...tons of spammers...very few legitimate users. Out of 250 that sign up every few days...maybe 2 are real users. I have a 250 user license and have to clean it out weekly...not really worth it if you ask me. JT
thanks for the replies guys, currently MailEnable is setup on my server, but this one is my reseller account. Now I know what software I need to use. Thanks again
