Create your own email server with hMailServer (Windows) | Free template

Here you can download a free tutorial to create your own email server with hMailServer on a computer running Windows.

The first thing you should think about when you should create your own email server is to choose an ISP or an account with an ISP that does not block port 25. Port 25 is a standard port for communication between email servers and if this port is blocked by the ISP then your email server can not send messages to external email servers and not receive messages from external email servers.

You can still set up a email server on your computer even if your ISP blocks port 25 but you will have to take special measures to overcome the blockage. You must use a SMTP port other than 25 for your email server, send e-mails via the ISP's email server and make a redirection in your DNS server so that incoming emails to your e-mail domain over port 25 are redirected to the SMTP port that you have configured for your email server. No-ip.com provides a service (not free) called "Mail Reflector" and this service makes it possible to redirect incoming mail from external mail servers to an open port on your email server.
