Your question is too general to work with.  Get a copy of Mercury/32 v4.52 from http://www.pmail.com/downloads and install is as an update over v4.01 that comes with XAMPP and then read over the manual for setup process.  It's pretty straight forward but it's not trival and it depends a lot on the specifics of your installation.  When you get done doing this then come back with specific questions about what you are trying to do and can't get to work.  You can also go to http://kbase.pmail.gen.nz/mercury32.cfm and get a lot of info on the setup as well.  You can probably search on XAMPP in this forum as well to get a lot of help since there XAMPP setup questions come in over and over.  ;-)

Hi Everyone!

I've just installed Mercury (it came bundled with XAMPP) on a Windows Server 2k3 box, and I'm having a bit of difficulty setting up the SMTP.  By difficulty, I mean I have no idea what I'm doing.

I know this should be easy, but there are a few details about the situation that boggle me.

First of all, this is running on an intranet-only server. The server acts as one of our main application servers, it can see the internet and access it, but we don't have it hosting anything on the web itself.

Secondly, our 'internal e-mail' is a hosted exchange mail out in who-knows-where.

I am trying to set up mercury on our intranet server because of a few of the internal web service request forms we have send an e-mail to someone (based on the form). Currently, to get these to work, we have the internal page re-direct upon submit to a page that's hosted on our website hosting service, and I'd like to bring this all back in-house.

We had to take it out of house orignally because our old intranet server did not have PHP or anything like that set up on it. Since that server was being replaced semi-soon, I didn't bother with trying to get that set up, and used our web-hosting as a temporary fix.

Nobody in the company needs to have their e-mail address run through Mercury or anything like that, but I do need it to be able to send the occasional e-mail. We're a practically-broke not-for-profit organization with me as the entire IT department. And, unfortunately for them, I have no idea what I'm doing in this instance. Any instruction at all would be greatly appreciated.

I hope all that made sense.

Thank you!
