I have both Cerberus FTP Server and Mercury 32 Mail Server installed on my computer. They're both wonderful programs and highly recommended (also free).

Zoneedit and FreeDNS are dns services running there own dns servers the ONLY dns server software for windows is BIND DNS (google it)

I think ZoneEdit and FreeDNS should be more appropriately classified as DNS Hosting providers. Also, BIND is not the only DNS servers for Windows. This list alone provides a variety of alternatives for DNS server software:

Here's another ftp server:
smallftpd: http://smallftpd.sourceforge.net/
It's not the most stable, but its tiny and light weight.

Two servers I like and use are:
OpenFire Jabber (IM) Server: http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp
Excellent really easy IM Server to use. Best if you have a static IP and a relatively dedicated internet connection. Connects and allows you to talk to other Jabber servers virtually out of the box.
Gene6 FTPD: http://www.gene6.com/
Very fast, powerful FTPD that can do virtually all you would need out of a FTP server. They are also working on a POP3/IMAP(w/ SSL)/SMTP server.

Thank you for the recommendation. Their software looks very interesting.

If you notice, Gene6 and hMailServer have the same GUI design.
Also, add this to your servers list:
Abyss Web Server X1 and X2, pretty pathetic list without enlisting that power.
I like Ignite Realtime's Install4Jabber: Spark and Openfire available here.
Best of all, it doesn't support FreeBSD! But, Windows, Mac, Linux works.
It is free, sharp, clean, fast, open source (Java JRE runtime), TAR, GZ and DMG, even ZIP, poor guys must have been busy.
My Spark now looks like MSN Messenger come Yahoo! Messenger
By the way, it seems that turning my PC on and off cleans my cache, making it work better as the paging file gets tired with the RAM now and then. Besides, it is a notebook.
Anyone else got a notebook on full stop due to the best free (and some open source) servers?
I bet most of you have desktops, workstations and main servers, luckily I am just a small organization.
Anyone know a Jabber client like Spark, which is free, open source and supports MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Jabber and the common IM servers?

Let me add a few other useful applications here:
A logging proxy to see what is actually sent to and received from the server:
http://www.mavensecurity.com/achilles
A good log file follower:
http://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/
(I use this mostly for the MySQL querylog, but web server logs can be equally useful)
A nice Linux counterpart is http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/
Communication to servers over the big evil internet:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
(shell access and tunnels)
Secure file transfer:
http://www.winscp.com/
Linux users can mount SSH-enabled servers with sshfs.

I see allot of people talking about what people like and don't like here in this thread and it allows me to be curious. Does anyone ever reads any of the comparisons on wikipedia.org about the build up of different software being produced and what those packages are actually capable of doing these days?
here are some links for all of you to read.
Comparison of mail servers
Comparison of FTP client software
List of FTP server software
Comparison of DNS server software
By the way DNSStuff is a very good site with some very good tools. They do have allot of free tools. What is sad about it is they start charging you money if you use your website so visitors can view information about other people who have connected to your site.

Recently found xeams email server. Has quite a number of features including the option of being a secondary/caching server. Completely free with good support. I kinda like the interface better than hMailServer too.

Is there any mail server compatible with MAC OSX (spec Leopard) I am running my Abyss 2.6 on it because it is much easier to setup than on my XP machine. All I need now is to set up an email server and an FTP server on it.
Any ideas?

I use the Gene6 ftp server; highly professional server with all bells 'n whistles; running now some five years faultlessly!
