- *** Welcome to MailCheck! ***
-
- MailCheck is a unique Electronic Mail management system that
- allows you to monitor the status of all your mail connections
- so that when mail is not getting delivered, you find out about
- and correct the problem before mail users start complaining.
-
- *** Why is MailCheck Important? ***
-
- Most E-Mail systems are connected to other E-Mail systems with
- gateways or other mail links. Even within a company, each
- department may have its own local mail system connected to
- other departments through mail links. When you send mail
- from one system to another, it has to pass through the link.
- These links are usually run on a dedicated machine somewhere in
- a back room. When a link fails (which, unfortunately, happens
- fairly often) there is usually no way to know that it has
- happened unless you happen to check the machine itself. Mail
- that was supposed to pass though the link starts piling up
- until someone notices that mail is not getting delivered and
- starts complaining. Depending on the amount of mail on the
- link it can be hours, days, or even weeks before someone
- notices the problem..
-
- *** What will MailCheck do for you? ***
-
- MailCheck will periodically check to see that mail is getting
- delivered to and from the other mail systems that your mail
- system has links to. When one of the links fails MailCheck
- will automatically alert you to the problem so that you can fix
- it before too much mail starts piling up. MailCheck is not
- just a gateway monitor: MailCheck verifies that mail can
- actually be sent to and received from remote mail systems.
- MailCheck works with most of the popular LAN mail systems in
- use today and can also be used to check links to public mail
- networks such as MCI Mail and UUNET.
-
- *** Who needs MailCheck? ***
-
- If your mail system is connected to other mail systems, even if
- the remote mail system is of the same type, you are sending
- mail over a mail link. If you depend on a mail link to send
- and receive mail, you need MailCheck to ensure that the links
- are working. If you have mail-enabled applications that depend
- on the timely delivery of mail, or if you receive important
- unsolicited mail from other mail systems, you need MailCheck
- because lost or delayed messages can mean aggravation, lost
- opportunities, and lost business.
-
- *** Installing the MailCheck Demo. ***
-
- To install the MailCheck demo, simply start Windows, select
- "File"|"Run" and enter "A:INSTALL". The Demo will ask you a few
- questions and then install itself. The demo does NOT MODIFY your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or WIN.INI files. After you are done
- with the demo, you can have the demo uninstall itself too! Just
- run the install program again and select the "Remove" choice on
- the first screen.
-
- *** Running the MailCheck Demo ***
-
- The MailCheck demo shows you the actual user interface of the
- MailCheck product. The interface is fully functional and you can
- use it to see what features are available. The E-Mail system that
- the demo displays is simulated. It gives you an idea of what the
- MailCheck system can tell you when your mail system has problems.
-
- You can get information about the demo version by selecting
- "Demo Info" from the Help menu. The first time you run the demo,
- this help file will automatically be displayed. You can get more
- information about MailCheck itself by perusing the MailCheck help
- system.
