Mail Service in Apache

How do I get started?

[asantos]

I already have my apache server working (with php 4.4.0) on my winxp pro.

How do I activate an email (smtp/pop3) server with that?

Thx,
Andres

It doesn't make very much sense to put up a mail server on a machine only temporarily available over the internet. As far as I know you'd need an addtional mail-server-programm, but I'm afraid it is against the TOS to recommend any specific.

If you only want to send or receive mails automatically via php, simply use the fetchmail- and sendmail-command. Maybe you have to configure some lines in httpd.conf, but the apache-manual should suffice to find out how. Hope this helped a bit.

its a development server, but i need to activate an email service to make the proper tests.
