INTRODCUTION
============

NTMail is the Internet Mail Server for Windows NT. If you need to 
communicate by E-Mail, then NTMail is the product for you. It is 
robust, reliable, powerful, easy to use and simple to maintain! 
What's more it is second only to Microsoft for E-Mail solutions 
running solely on Windows NT. NTMail is being used by over eight 
thousand customers, in more than ninety countries, covering all 
sectors (Airlines, Press, Government Agencies, Education, Industry, 
etc).

Reviewers of NTMail 4.0 have made the following comments:

  "Don't be fooled by the simplicity or low price of this package 
   beacause NTMail is a fully-features SMTP mail server...", 
                                                PC Direct, Jan 1999

  "NTMail 4.0 is easier to install and support than packages like 
   Exhange or GroupWise and it can be used for both local and 
   Internet communications", 
                                              PC Magazine, Dec 1998
                                              
  "The single most widley used NT Mailer is NTMail", 
                             Survey by NTA-Monitor Ltd, 11 Nov 1998
                             
  "Managing [NTMail] is a doddle, and it gives you almost as much 
   functionality as more expensive applications, like Exchange Server, 
   but a 90MHz processor with 32Mb Ram will be sufficient to run it", 
                                                PC Direct, Jan 1999
                                                
  "a powerful mail server at realistic prices.  NTMail 4 is fast 
   and flexible", 
                                                PCWeek, 13 Oct 1998
                                                
  "If you want a simple e-mail system that works both on a local area 
   network and that can connect to the Internet, NTMail is well worth 
   a free download and trial run", 
                                                   PCPlus, Nov 1998
                                                   
  "Consumes very little RAM, even when subjected to increased client 
   requests.  Control over interaction between other SMTP Servers.", 
                                                ITWeek, 21-Sep-1998
                                                
  "The suite was simple to install ... and the configuration took 
   just a few minutes", 
                                                ITWeek, 21-Sep-1998

                                        Internet Magazine, Oct 1998
                                        
  "State-of-the-art NT design; fast and efficient; good customer 
   support", 
                                           Internet.Works, Oct 1998





1.   Important Note - Port Conflicts
     ===============================
1.1  The Issue:
If you are running some other software on your mail server which
uses port 8000, you will not be able to configure NTMail once it
has been installed.  

1.2  Does this concern you?
If you are not sure if you are likely to have a "port conflict", 
start a Web Browser up on your machine and enter
the URL:
    http://localhost:8000
If you get no response, you do not have a port conflict.

If you get a page displayed, you have a port conflict.

1.3  Solving the "Port Conflict" problem:
Completely install NTMail.  Once the installation is complete,
start REGEDT32 and go to the key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\InternetShopper\Mail\Users
and double click on the value "<No name>".  Scroll to the end
of the dialog box and enter the line:
    WWWMMLPort=8001
and press "OK".  From the Services Icon in the Control Panel,
select "NTMail Configuration Server", press STOP and then
re-start the service.  You should now be able to configure
NTMail using your new port:
    http://localhost:8001


2.   Installation & Manuals
     ======================
Run the .EXE enclosed in this .ZIP file.  This will install (and

to configure NTMail from your Web browser when you enter the URL:
    http://localhost:8000

    mail, outgoing mail, etc. They can also be stacked, i.e. an
