This version of MERCUR SMTP/POP3-Server is a 30 days testversion. Use
the File ORDER.TXT to order a full licenced version of MERCUR.
MERCUR is a full featured SMTP/POP3-Server. The Server is running as a
Systemservice and can be installed easily and configured easily with
the assistance of the Windows NT Controlpanel.
MERCUR can be used as a simple Gateway to route SMTP-Messages, for auto-
matic POP3-Lookup on remote POP3-Servers or as a real SMTP/POP3-Mailserver.
MERCUR is in accordance with the current Standards of SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol in RFC821), POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3 in
RFC1460) and DNS (Domain Name System in RFC882, -883).
MERCUR is available for the operatings system Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Features
╖ Sending and Receiving SMTP-Messages
Send your message with a suited mailprogram to MERCUR. It is of no
importance wheter the reciever of the message is local or anywhere
else in the worldwide Internet. MERCUR determines automatically the
real destination-address and passes your mail on. Incoming mails will
be placed in their corresponding mailbox by MERCUR, as desired with a
copy to another user.
╖ Check for waiting mail by POP3
You can query your mailbox for new mail, whenever you want. New messages
are available in your personal mailbox as long as you collect them.
╖ Administration for multiple Domains
You can manage users and mailing lists with different domains. The
destination addresses of incoming messages will be checked for member-
ship and accordingly distributed by MERCURt. Messages addressed to
mailboxes on non-local Domains, will be passed to the responsible Server.
╖ Administration for users on local and non-local mailboxes
MERCUR creates a separate mailbox for every user. You can specify the
same mailbox for multiple users or multiple mailboxnames for one user.
Mailboxes on remote servers are defined as remote mailboxes and can be
managed inside your local domain.
╖ Mailing-Lists
Create a mailing-list, to send messages automatically to more than one
recipients. The number of mailinglist-members is unlimited. Send your
mail simply to the mail-address of the mailing-list, then MERCUR passes
the mail to each list-member.
╖ Automatic response to incoming mail
Incoming mail can be automatically answered by MERCUR. The sender-addresses
of the incoming messages can be added automatically to a mailing-list. In
this way, you get an easy overview to all addresses and a good foundation
to send messages to all in one step.
╖ Mail-Routing
The outgoing mails will be updated periodically. MERCUR automatically
determines the destinationhosts for the outgoing messages and passes
them directly there to.
╖ POP3-Lookup on Remote-Servers
In some cases, the network connection to the Internet-Provider is not
permanent and exists only if required. If you have this kind of Internet-
Connection, MERCUR periodically asks the remotelly POP3-Server for new mail
and puts it into the local mailbox. You can activate this option for each
user separately.
╖ Event-Logging
MERCUR contains extensivs protocol-functions, to control all events on the
server. The event-log shows possible errors or also the complete datatransfer.
