How do I bypass the ISP mail system

[Eeyan]

Am running XP and want to be able to recevie emails direct from senders
rather than using an ISP mail system.
Is there any way / software I can use that will work with XP to receive such
email?

TIA

You'll need an smtp server. A POP3 server if you want to read in a mail =
program. MS program for this only runs on server.

You'll also need a domain name and a commeccial internet connection.

Hi and thanx for the reply.
If I install IIS (part of XP Pro), will that do it (SMTP Service?)? Or do I
need something else to go with that?

TIA

You can use it. But this won't get mail into OE. The mail will be text =
files in a folder somewhere.

But you need a domain name and a fixed IP address.=20

There are plenty of pop3 server and smtp servers available. Do a search.

If you really want to do this, suggest you get setup with a Linux box.
You can get all the software for this with almost any of the Linux
distributions, e.g. Red Hat, SuSE, etc. You can also find a lot of
documentation with the distribution about how to set it up, and find
lots of articles on the Internet on this topic. Also can find lots of
books on this from the Linux perspective.
