    I am a beginner with Windows 2003 server (standard) and I use my Windows
    2003 server computer as both a pop3 server and an smtp server (built-in IIS
    smtp server). However, the problem I am having is that people sending
    e-mail to my server's host domain are not able to send the e-mail if the
    smtp "anonymous" authentication option is not enabled. However, I can't
    enable this because this will allow anyone (including people sending spam)
    to access my server and use it to send their e-mail via my smtp IIS server.
    The question becomes, is it possible to have both SMTP and POP3 services
    enabled on one computer without enabling anonymous authentication in the
    smtp options?
