Free Commercial Software recommendations?

Free or Commercial Software recommendations?

I need a VNC and or Remote Connection software similar to Teamviewer that is completely free and Commercial usage is allowed. (The VNC programs like UltraVNC are hard to configure if ports aren't forwarded etc.)

I also need some advice on which proxy server (web, mail, etc.) in a Windows environment would be suitable(no Linux solution needed or wanted), a good mail server suggestion would help as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
tera

Edit:
VNC - Remote Access has been sorted. It seems my turn around time for the perfect solution is about 2 days lol and I end up finding it myself

I don't see any limits really within that Terms of Usage, it's absolutely brilliant

It seems we've settled for hMailServer for the short term.

I'd like to expand the list and ask if you know of any Web/Content filtering programs that can be deployed either on a Windows 2003 server or even XP based (small server).

The budget for the blocker/filter is roughly 3K and there's about 140+ workstations.

Thanks for any help.

Would love to recommend Dansguardian, but it's Linux based...

M$ ISA server will set you back by more than 3k as you'll need a proper PC to run it on.... not to mention purchasing the software itself.

hMailServer is a very good choice - just remember to enable antivirus scanning with a supported antivirus program...

You'll need to play around with antispam filtering tho - I haven't done so, was too lazy

I can give you a plus one on the hMailServer. I've used it before once, works well.

@ Tera - where will you put the mail server?

Recommended use is to put it into the DMZ - so that should it be hacked, entry to your other PC's get denied automatically to the hackers.

Doubt it will be on a DMZ uncle Libs, we just don't have the hardware/resources at the moment.

I've searched a bit and you'd think that Content Filters would be a booming market, but to be honest, there's only a handful of useful applications at a reasonable cost out there.

hMail seems as if it would do the trick though.
