315128 2005-01-17 16:15:00 Hi guys,

I just upgraded my server to Windows Server 2003, but have run into an enormous problem - Exchange 2000 isn't compatible with Server 2003.

I urgently need a free temporary solution. I need to take e-mail for about 10 domains, about 10 mailboxes per domain, and to send it out.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I cannot stress the urgency enough, I am without e-mail till I get a solution running.

Alternatively, anyone around here who wouldn't mind hosting e-mail for me for a few days?

315131 2005-01-17 21:05:00 You can download a 120 day trial version of Exchange 2003 from Microsoft which you might be able to use. I got it up and running quite easily.

315135 2005-01-18 01:57:00 Not sure if this is the solution for you - can't quite understand the problem, but can their email be diverted to another domain name or sub-domain that I could host for you (gratis) and they could access it via webmail or POP.

Whatever, I'm pretty sure I can help in some way.

Email me stuff at zu.co.nz, and we can swap phone #'s

315136 2005-01-18 04:13:00 That's very good of you Greg, but I have the Exchange 2003 installed now.

Having said that, I am having big trouble with the POP3 service failing to start :o so I might just end up accepting your offer.

Edit: The : o emoticon (:o) is totally wrong!

315137 2005-01-18 04:28:00 Another problem: www.katatoonz.com/forums (site not owned by me) is giving a 404, but it is there - IIS shows it to be there, permissions are correct .... what the hell is up with that?

All other dirs like /toplist work fine.
