if ur trying to set up an email server on your computer via your internet u gotta be very lucky that your ISP doesnt port block the email port which is 45 i THINK! ive tried and it failed coz of port blocking, i also tried changing the port and that failed too.

if your willing to try anyways, download a email server proggy. there are many progs that do that. just try some out and see if u can get it working, and PM me if you do and how.

Thanks

There is a guide on how to setup a mail server on www.tldp.org if you are going to use *nix

Ohh God, I'm such an Open Source / *nix Mormon!

No I have a domain www.________.net and I wanna make a mail server @ that domain name. It's a site on a server which we've paid for.

Something like that would have been part of the package.

Aye, check your control panel for email options/settings, or shoot off an email to your web host asking about it.
