Dear All,

I need to setup a local email server into my new server win. srv. 2008 ent.

any help...?

it's written in .NET, you need to install the .NET framework 3.5+ first.

Otherwise, in the application folder, go into subfolder release
there, start lsMailServer.exe, choose WinForms first, then click start on the appearing window.

Then, start MailServerManager.exe and connect (default: as administrator to 127.0.0.1 with empty password).

In the manager, configure the virtual server (set domain, internal IP for relay), domain name, mailboxes, and filters.

If you want to configure the mailserver from another server, run MailServerConfigurator, and add the IP or IP-range you want to grant remote admin access to.

In order for the server to work, you must set up port-forwarding in the router to the internal IP of your mailserver.
Ports to forward:
SMTP: 25
POP: 110
IMAP: 143

Secure SMTP (SSMTP): 465
Secure POP3 (SSL-POP): 995
Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL): 585
IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS): 993

If you have any trouble, enable the logiles, and set their desired paths.

Once you're sure the configuration is correct, you must install it as a service (automatic startup).

You need to dissect the source of MailServerManager.exe if you want to find out how to add users in an automated way. I can give you the source for it, if you have any need for that :)
