copy it into your directory on the test server and try it... nothing to lose
except having to kill the service and clear out the files and restart.

>I would also like recommendations on a mail server for NT. Something that
depends on the number of users and domains, messages, etc. we're on a
PPRO166
with 64MB RAM and 8GB drive, and it's been fine, but it is a dedicated
machine.
we've about +-100 domains with about 5-10 users/aliases each.
>would allow our users to remotely manage their domains would be fantastic!
I believe someone with host administrator privs (through imail) and web
access
can add/delete users and aliases via the web to the max # you set in the
admin
program.
