Project Topic

 

Developing a mail server for the LAN that would require minimum system resources, yet providing all the facilities that a modern day mail server provides.

Tools Used

 

 

 

•       PWS Server

•        HTML 4.0

•        ASP 3.0

•        Microsoft Access 2000

 

 

 

 

System Requirments

 

 

 

 

•        INTEL PENTIUM^®/AMD ATHLON processor with minimum 900MHZ speed.

•        128 MB of RAM or higher.

•        Windows^® 98 (with PWS), Windows^® NT 4.0 or higher (with IIS).

 

 

What is ASP?

 

 

ASP lets you use the power of a Web server to process user requests and provide dynamic, individualized, content based on logic, file, and database data and also process the user’s individualized data. In other words, ASP lets multiple user simultaneously run a program on your Web server.

Why I choose ASP?

 

ASP is Language-Independent

The ASP engine does not depends on a single language. The ASP engine works with any scripting languages that are compatible with Microsoft Scripting Host requirements. It can even work with code written in multiple scripting languages on the same page.

 

 

ASP is for Non-Programmers

One of the holy grails of computing is to find a language that ordinary people can use to perform programmer-type task.

 

Easy request-response communication

 

Easy to configure server (IIS or PWS)

Pictorial view of the project

 

If you are a new user of the server then you have to sign up as a member. Then after checking all environments, if positive then you will be our new user and your details will be store in the server’s database.

 

After checking all condition and doing all necessary work you will get a acknowledgement from server.

 

Now you are our registered user you can now sign in using your USER NAME and PASSWORD.

In INBOX you can read messages, you got from your family, friends or officials.

 

You can read any message of your choice.

 

You can also send reply by clicking Reply button.

 

You can compose mail and can send it to any valid user of this server.

After sending you will get an acknowledgement.

 

 

After doing all jobs you can sign out by clicking sign out button.

Your session is now ended.

Conclusion

 

1.  This mail server is designed with all the modern facilities to be used in an Internet.

2.  This mail server uses HTTP protocol.

3.  Security-- yet to be strengthened.

4.  This product is to be improved with the help of Session control mechanism in future.

5.   Last of all we are to enhance it to be used in the Internet-- in the broader arena using mail APIs (SMTP protocols).
