Hi:

I want to setup one of my clients with their own email server. The email is currently be hosted on a cobalt blue box. I am getting rid of my blue boxes, and want to setup their email to come to their w2k advanced server box.

I have loaded mdaemon on the w2k box. Now what? How do I create MX Records, what do I have to do to get the email to start coming to thier box? Do I have to activate IIS?

Need step by step from someone. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, they do have a static IP that is plugged into the router, and the company is on a network.

Thanx. I knew this information already. My MDaemon is setup. I wanted to know how to configure W2K Advanced Server as a mail server; like setting up MX, ZONES, etc.
