New Mail Server

[astral]

I have found that Argosof,t that I was using as my smtp gateway, is setting a limit

on the size of file attachments.

I have now installed PostCast which seems to get round the limitation.

It is a free version.

Take care to set it up to limit who can use it, to prevent your computer being used

for spam.

This applies to all such programmes.

I installed PostCast about the same time as Astral and apart from one scare when TT&T / HiNet blocked port 25 for a whole day, it seems to be working fine. I'm very pleased with it, it seems to have solved all my emailing problems and will allow me to stop using Hotmail linked into Outlook.

Astral how many of the security features would you advise using. Limiting IP addresses of course but do you use any of the other features?

The only security setting I use is to limit sending to my own computer.

I use the computer name not the ip address, as that can vary according

to what my router decides to give me.

As of the moment the other computers on my network cannot send,

just in case they pick up a virus that tries to find a smtp gateway.

Other than that I am not too worried as I am behind the additional firewall of the router, plus Zonealarm on the computer.
