Win Server 2003 email

Windows Server 2003 as an email server.

WTF is this shit. I don't want to create windows accounts for all email users.

The POP service allows one to create a password text file store in the users mail box for authenticaltion. Great.

The Virtual SMTP service does not allow the use of this file for authentication. So the only way to send mail is to leave it as an open relay, which I will not do.

Is there a setup that accomdates the requirement of no user accounts/active directory for each email user using the built in POP/SMTP services.

Or is there a good alternate solution that is not Exchange?

Linux is not an option, and you are a fag for suggesting it.

This server needs to be a workhorse for a while so I need it to do everything. That includes being a database server. Linux does not offer anything close to SQL Server. And I don't need some shit going over the Linux DB options. I know then, and if you think any can compete with SQL Server, then you don't know shit anyways.

But the topic isn't databases, its email servers on Windows, not fucking Linux or FreeBSD or some other fucking stupid response.
