Hi,

I own a VPS Hosting and have started giving accounts out to friends. Could you tell me what the SMTP server will be? Will it be shared for all accounts on the box or smtp. for each account?

Thanks,
Michael

Each domain will have its own smtp address. If your friend has got a domain name abcadabca.com then his SMTP address is abcadabca.com or mail.abcadabca.com

Make sure that you configure his DNS properly or else the SMTP wotn work with the domain name. You can use IP of your VPS Hosting for pop3 but for smtp you will need a configured domain name residing on your VPS Hosting.

Right. They have to put their username and password for authentication.
