NU-Mail Features
Standard Version
This version provides the following
facilities:
- Complete local SMTP/POP3 mail service
enabling users connected to a Local Area network to
exchange messages between their selves.
- Mail forwarding to remote recipients
via the Internet using SMTP. This requires an Internet
Service Provider that supplies access to a SMTP mail
server.
- Mail collection from the Internet
using POP3 and/or SMTP. This also requires an ISP that
allows E-Mail to be collected via POP3 or delivers mail
via SMTP). Incoming mail can be collected from multiple
POP3 mail boxes provided they are hosted on the same POP3
server.
- A Dialer that connects to your ISP
periodically to despatch any outgoing messages and
collect any incoming mail. This uses Windows Dial Up
Networking (DUN).
- All messages are encrypted whilst they
are stored within NU-Mail to ensure confidentiality.
- Graphical user interface to enabling
both local and remote configuration of the system. The
maintenance/configuration system can be run on any
workstation that can establish a TCP/IP connection to the
computer that is hosting the Gateway.
- Remote Console enabling the Gateway to
be monitored and controlled from any workstation that can
connect (via TCP/IP) to the computer that hosts the
Gateway.
- Scheduler that controls when the local
mail service is available and the frequency that the ISP
is connected to.
- Facilities for compressing and backing
up the NU-Mail database.
- Multiple local e-mail domains.
- User audit log.
- E-Mail redirection.
- The system is based on the Standard
SMTP and POP3 Internet protocols enabling the Gateway to
be accessed by any other system that uses these protocols.
- Users can use any suitable Internet E-Mail
Client (WIndows messaging, Outlook, Outlook Express,
Eudora, Pegasus etc) to connect to the Gateway.
- Can be installed and set up by
knowledgeable users (i.e. they need to know the basics of
SMTP and POP3 mail).
- Automatic generation of replies
whenever a message is deposited in a mail box.
- Auto response messages can include
file attachments.
- Robots for generating mail shots,
joining mailing lists, leaving mailing lists, running an
external program to process messages, generating
automatic reply messages, updating address lists. The
professional version has a robot for starting scheduled
services (SMTP deliveries etc). These robots can are
activated when a message is posted to a defined mail box.
- Immediate forwarding of urgent
messages.
- E-Mail address aliasing.
- Remote mail box configuration/manipuation
using suitable formatted messages.
- Full protocol diagnostic log.
- Content controls (foul language and
allowed/disallowed attachment types).
- Standard footer text that can be
appended to the bottom of each outgoing message.
- Virus scanning using Sophos Sweep.
- Wizard to kick start your installation.
Professional Version
- The Professional version includes all
of the features of the Standard version plus the
following:
- Full access to the scheduler enabling
sophisticated service patterns to be defined for moving
messages around multiple networks and establishing
distributed E-Mail systems. This is used to control when
services are to be available/run and connecting to remote
systems (LAN, WAN, ISP, NU-Mail etc) to deliver and
collect E-Mail.
- A message routing system enabling
rules to be defined as to how messages are moved around a
multiple network system. These rules are used to
determine whether messages are to be delivered locally or
forwarded onto another system (ISP, remote network,
another instance of NU-Mail etc).
- Full schematic view of the system
detailing how messages flow through the system and where
each feature is applied.
- SMTP servers and clients support ETRN
enabling messages to be collected using SMTP.
- Messages can be optionally delivered
using DNS instead of an SMTP relay server.
- SMTP servers can optionally reject
messages not addressed to a local mail box or a local
domain.
- SMTP servers can optionally vaildate
the HELO/EHLO domain using a DNS lookup.
- SMTP servers can be configured to not
act as open relay.
- SMTP clients support authentication
using LOGIN (Microsoft) and CRAM-MD5.
- Rejection of large messages when
collecting mail using a POP3 client.
- Automatic generation of messages
whenever a routing rule is invoked to process an incoming
message.
- Robots to generate messages and start
scheduled services. This enables services to be chained
together and thus run in a predefined sequence (e.g. an
SMTP client forwarding messages onto another network will
always run after a POP3 client has collected mail from
the Internet). This feature can also be used to implement
bi-directional SMTP bewteen two NU-Mail systems using one
telephone call.
- Robots may be activated whenever a
routing rule is invoked to process a message and whenever
a scheduled service starts.stops.
- Mailing lists can be posted to via the
message routing system.
- Unwanted message (SPAM) filtering.
- Automated database compression and
back up.
- Remote client configuration enabling
users to change basic details of their mail boxes -
password and re-direction details.
- The ability to run multiple SMTP and
POP3 servers on the same machine (each bound to a
different network card).
- Access to multiple ISPs.
- Can be integrated into any other SMTP/POP3
software locally via a LAN/WAN or remotely via Windows
DUN.
