 |
| VPOP3 is
an Internet email server and gateway for small and medium sized businesses (and
some larger ones too!). VPOP3 hosts its own POP3 mailboxes for users on your local
network and will fetch mail from ISP accounts to put into these mailboxes. Thus,
if all the mail for | |
| yourdomain.com
goes into one ISP POP3 mailbox, for instance, VPOP3 will retrieve it all and distribute
it among the appropriate users' mailboxes. Outgoing mail is stored by VPOP3 and
then sent when it next connects. The mail retrieval operation can be scheduled
to occur at specific times and it can be optionally triggered by the action of
sending a message with the priority set to urgent. |
