Is there any tutorials out there to set up mercury to run as a mailingsystem, that is not local? What I'm aiming to do is take my domain so I
can create emails for others, as in, not just local can grab it. I want
it so it is similar to sending/recieving lets say, from one computer,
to another computer, etc, while still being pretty secure (Aka not smtp
sending mail unless they login first, something like that.)
Like it was said, it's the same as running locally and the manual is quite good about setting up Mercury/32. The knowledgebase at http://kbase.pmail.gen.nz/mercury32.cfm provides a lot of help as well. Here's a few of my recommendations.
1. Always run any MS Windows system behind at least a NAT router.
2. Always run some sort of firewall so that you have some sort of control over the programs sending outbound mail. [This is a case of do as I say not as I do though since I'm not currently running a firewall. ;-)]
3. If you are planning on hosting other peoples domains I would recommend using "Domain" accounts where the people on the outside would pull their mail using something like MercuryD from your system.
I use GoDaddy for three of my domains and I have a fixed IP address so it's quite simple to me to setup the MX hosts.
