Next, I’ll go through the basics of the installation of hMailServer. Leaving an insecure POP3/SMTP email server on the Internet is not the smartest thing to do these days. I highly recommend you purchase a 3rd-party SSL certificate for the hostname of your new hMailServer before sending or receiving emails, especially for a professional business email account. However, when you add an SSL certificate and create new bindings in the software, you’ll gain secure transfer of email via ports 995 (POP3 SSL), 465 (SMTP SSL), and 993 (IMAP SSL). The default ports like 110 ( POP3), 25 ( SMTP), 143 ( IMAP) are insecure. There will be no secure email transfer occurring at all. The security of hMailServer depends on what steps you take during its initial setup, installation, and configuration. I’ll get into more of these features later on. The main components of hMailServer include a simple installation and configuration procedure, built-in security measures (support of SSL certificates, integration with virus scanners, email black list servers, and SPF/ MX lookups), integrations with other software products via a COM library, and many more. Those were the days… The core features of hMail Server
Since that time, it has become one of the most popular email servers for Windows.Īfter looking over its features, it does remind me of MDaemon back in the 90s. It was first developed in late 2002 by Martin Knafve. Honestly, I wasn’t aware of this solution. Have you ever wondered if there were any decent alternatives to Microsoft Exchange as your mail server? Well, there is! hMailServer is an open-source, free email server for Microsoft Windows environments.
