Mercury Mail Transport


The Mercury Mail Transport System is a full-featured mail server for Windows and Novell NetWare systems. It is extremely fast and robust, feature-rich and extensible, yet consumes very little in the way of system resources or bandwidth.

System requirements, Mercury for Windows Systems

  • Windows 98, 2000, XP or Vista*; Windows Server 2003 or 2008: we strongly recommend using XP or Windows Server 2003/2008 in preference to other versions of Windows. Windows NT4 can be used as a host for Mercury, but SSL services will almost certainly not be available in that environment.

  • Properly-configured TCP/IP services running on the workstation or server

  • 3MB disk space, plus overhead for received and stored mail

  • 10-12MB workstation RAM depending on loading; more if using IMAP extensively (approximately 500Kb per simultaneous IMAP connection)

  • In NetWare mode - a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, 5.x or 6.x file server on your local area network, and genuine Novell workstation software installed on the workstation where Mercury/32 runs (client workstations need not necessarily use genuine Novell requester software).

  • Mercury is an application. If you want to run it as a service on Windows XP, Vista or Windows Server, you will need Microsoft's SRVANY utility (part of the Windows NT Resource Kit). Alternatively, you can use third-party Service Running Applications such as FireDaemon. Future versions of Mercury will have the ability to run as native services without needing these utilities.

* Windows Vista: Mercury's help system requires the user to download WinHelp from the Microsoft support site when running under Vista: this restriction will be addressed in a future release of the program.
