Paul Smith Computer Services, based in the UK, have released a beta version of their windows VPOP3 email server application designed specifically for Windows Home Server.

VPOP3 is a cut down version of their Windows e-mail server application and can support a maximum of 11 users that WHS allows (10 users and an adminstrator).

By integrating into the WHS console the whole application can be managed from anywhere on your network.

VPOP3 has the following features;

• Spam Filtering-can detect over 90% of spam and offensive email before it reaches your users.
• Works with your ISP - works with most home Internet email accounts. Can send outgoing mail via your ISP’s SMTP mail server.
• Use own email client- Any standard compliant email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, Windows Vista Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird etc.
• Family protection features - Suitable for family use - for instance, you can configure it to send you a copy of all email messages sent or received by your children, to help keep them safe.
• Get your mail anywhere - WebMail facility which means you can access your mail from anywhere in the world.

VPOP3 is available as a WHS only beta version with 1 months free trial. The price after the trial is £40 ($82) for a one year subscription this includes the subscription to the VPOP3 spam filter.  

Another option is to purchase the full version of the VPOP3 mail server software instead. This will also work on Windows Home Server. For 10 users, this costs £90.00 (one-off fee) plus £45.00 per year for the SpamFilter subscription. The SpamFilter subscription is not required for the mail server to work in this case, but the spam filter subscription will drastically improve the performance of the spam filter.
