I've setup a Windows SMTP server and a Windows POP3 service on Windows Server 2003. Can I have the SMTP server send directly to the POP3 service without setting up a public IP address and domain? The Windows Server is a VM in it's own Workgroup (no other computers) sitting on top of a corporate network.

A:
You should be able to use the loopback ip address (127.0.0.1) for this, or if you must use a host name then the one mapped to it in the hosts file - localhost.

I can send fine, but I need a mechanism to receive.

Either way, this doesn't answer the question.

@Micah - using localhost means you do not have to setup a pulibc IP and domain and will allow sending from SMTP to POP3 on the same box.
