SLMail

SLMail Features Overview

SLMail is SMTP and POP3 email server software for Microsoft™ Windows NT and 2000.

SLMail is the corner stone to developing an effective email solution with time-tested industry proven technology. SLMail is a reliable, scalable and secure email server solution for any business. As your needs change and your company grows, SLMail can grow along with you.

Multiple Domain Support

SLMail can handle mail for more than one domain. If you need multiple email addresses you do not need more than one email server. SLMail will allow you to use Floras_Restaurant.com and Floras_Catering.com on the same email server.

Auto responders

You can set SLMail to automatically reply to mail received at certain addresses. For example, you can set SLMail to automatically deliver a file containing information on your company's products when a customer sends a request to products@yourcompany.com. You can configure auto responders to deliver immediate information to customers in a timely manner.

Forwarding

Users can set options to have their mail forwarded to other accounts, locally or on other systems. Multiple Aliases Mail can be redirected from a generic department name to a real person. For example, you can redirect sales@yourcompany.com to your sales manager's mailbox, or marketing@yourcompany.com to your marketing manager.

List Server for Mass Mailings

Prominent among SLMail features is the function of a list server. The mailing list functions provided by a list server allows a user to send a single piece of email to multiple recipients. This is a widely used feature not only for mass mailings, but also for moderated discussion groups. SLMail's list server is extremely powerful and allows many configuration options, which make the list server valuable in a number of contexts. It also provides extremely high performance (speed measured by how many mail messages may be sent out in a specified period of time).

Dial-up Connections

Unlike many email servers, SLMail does not require a dedicated connection to the Internet. It is capable of using Windows Dial-Up Networking to make the Internet connection automatically for sending and receiving email. This means SLMail can save you money, and it can be used on sites where no other email server will succeed.

Mail Filtering

SLMail provides protection against the reception of unsolicited email through the use of IP address and Domain/Name filtering. SLMail also allows you to set up filters for incoming messages based on the sender (IP or name), attachment type, and message contents. With SLMail’s Mail Filtering option, you can easily protect your users from receiving junk email, potentially malicious attachments, and objectionable content.

SMTP Relay Filtering

SLMail allows you to secure your mail server from unauthorized use by outside sources through the use of SMTP Relay Filtering. You can enter both allowed and restricted IP addresses or IP address ranges for those who may or may not use your mail server to send mail to other domains. SLMail also offers a new feature, which allows authenticated POP3 relay access.

Message Tracking Filters

SLMail allows you to keep a database (either Microsoft Access or SQL) file of all of your mail traffic. The tracking filters allow you set parameters to pinpoint messages to or from a specific domain, look at all messages in a given time frame, and keep track of your mail traffic at a glance. The filters make easy work of pinpointing the information that you want without having to search through log files or an entire database file.

Message Management Report

The Message Management Report tool allows you to search your message database. Searches can be made for individual users, domains, or over a certain time frame. The search results can be downloaded as a CSV file for manipulation and display in most spreadsheet applications.

Mailbox Size Limits

Administrators can set mailbox size limits. These limits can be set globally (for all users on the server), per domain (all users for a domain on the server), or per individual users. You can also set the quota for unlimited (depends on system resources) mailbox disk space.

Message Size Limits

Administrators can set individual message size limits. The total size of the message (including all attachments) is checked and if it exceeds the set limit, the message is rejected.

Web-Based Administration

With SLMail’s Web-based Administration Utility, you can now administer your local SLMail server from any web browser connected to the Internet. The SL Products Group includes a shortcut for the Web administration of SLMail.

Integration with SLWebMail3 for Web-based Email

SLMail integrates seamlessly with Seattle Lab's Web-based email software, SLWebmail3, to extend the features of SLMail over the World-Wide Web. When SLWebmail3 is added any user can access their email from any web browser. This is ideal for supporting mobile users or users in a laboratory environment (such as a school), where users do not have their own individual PCs.
