SMTP server with godaddy

Hello there I want to know how it is possible to set up a mail server so people can sign up to my site and ge开发者_如何转开发t their own email account. For example like gmail or hotmail and yahoo. Is this possible I have GoDaddy. Thanks a lot.

Graeme: not really

Have a look at something like http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-2 (or any of the "Perfect Server" tutorials on that site).

My advice - don't go with godaddy. Take a look at someone like slicehost/rackspace cloud/linode

Sure it's possible, otherwise gmail and hotmail and yahoo wouldn't have been able to do it. But it's a non-trivial (read: difficult) project. Sorry if this sounds condescending, but if you have to ask such a basic question about it, a project of this scope might be beyond you.
