Well the cheapest way happens to be free. A mail server has nothing to do with Abyss, so you won't be running anything using it. You will just happen to be running a mail server with Abyss also running on the same machine.
For a free solution, I recommend Mercury/32. After installing it, just add a user (in the "Local Users" option), and it is bascially configured right out of the box. Others recommend ArGoSoft Mail server, but it is up to you.

My favorite is Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com)... but its frickin expensive if you want more than the 5 users the free version allows and its windows only.
It does pop3, imap, smtp, webmail, www(with virtual hosts, mutiple domains, etc but crappy ASP and no native cgi), ftp, ldap, chat, ip tunnelling... some others I've forgotten. 9x or nt.

I read a bit of the programs but unsure if i understand correctly.
Will either of these programs do the following.
I run a simulation hockey league and want to give each person in the league about (15) of them an e-mail address. and have them login to the e-mail if possible thru the website.
Is this even possible to do with a home server?
yourname@subdomain.no-ip.com
will pegasus mail and server allow me to do this?
thanks |

Yes, it will. Pegasus mail is the client that retrieves the mail, however you don't need to use that. You can use Outlook, Eudora, or whatever you want.
If you want to run it through your website, you will need to set up a third party web mail script.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but since it's basically on topic, how would one go about making a mail script to use Mercury/32? Is it similar to a call to sendmail or something? Or is this something that would be script language-specific? |

Any script that can retrieve mail from a POP3 account and send mail through an SMTP server will work.
Look into the PHP mail() function.
| PHP.NET wrote: | | The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote machine). |
