Will optionally run as a Service when installed onto a Windows NT 4 system.
Outgoing SMTP message queues can be named and are no longer identified by the SMTP server they will be transferred to.

Full protocol diagnosis log.
Mail configuration by messages enabling specified mail boxes to be configured and manipulated by suitably formatted messages.
