    if your using windows, most non-lite versions include IIS which can serve webpages and mail.By non-lite versions I mean, windows 2000 / windows XP pro etc. not win XP home for example

    you install IIS via the control panel applet "Add/Remove programs"

    things begin to get complicated when doing it using 'nix so I cant comment there.

    Hmm, have you ever tried setting one up on UNIX? It's not that bad...

    "apt-get install ipopd" would do it on my server. :p

    let me rephrase, it gets more difficult for me to install it on 'nix; no more so than anything else I suppose, not a user friendly OS type.
