POP Authentication method
|
|

| I read through the POP Authentication methods on MS' website, but I'm still
a bit confused. The mail/web server will be sitting on the "DMZ" of my
firewall, so it isn't connected to my internal AD domain. Here is what I
need to do: I need to have multiple mailboxes for some users, some with
different mailboxes (e.g., john@domian1.com and purchasing@domain1.com) on
the same domain, some with the same mailbox on different domains (e.g.
bob@domain1.com and bob@domain2.com), and some that might have a mix. What
is the best authentication method to use? Should I use SMTP virtual servers?
Each domain has it's own external IP address. If anyone could point me to
some *clear* (as opposed to the stuff on microsoft.com) explanations of this
I would appreciate it! Oh, Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2. Thanks!

Encrypted Password File.

No need to use more than 1 (note that you are always using at least
one -- even the first is "virtual").

Each website has its own public IP, rather than using host headers...
that's fine, but has nothing to do with the POP3 side. Share just one
POP3 hostname with your customers; it will keep you saner.
