Key enhancements to IMail Server 4.0 include IMAP4 and LDAP servers, antispamming features, more Web administration capabilities, and the ability to handle attachments with its Web Messaging option. It combines ease of use and advanced functionality for businesses that need dedicated Internet e-mail that is easy to set up and administer. With version 4.0, mail messages stored on IMail Server can be manipulated from a home computer, the desktop PC at the office, and a notebook computer from the road without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers. By employing the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, IMail Server 4.0 provides an LDAP interface to the IMail user database. Users of conforming LDAP clients can obtain a directory of all users at a specific site, browse for users meeting certain criteria, or modify their own entry.
Administrators can set up the server to relay mail only from local users.
In addition, administrators can block incoming messages from certain IP addresses if those addresses have been a source of unwanted e-mail. MIME attachments with Web Messaging-Now Web users can read and forward MIME attachments with the optional Web Messaging capability, which allows users to access their mail from any browser. More Web administration features-IMail Server's Web administration capabilities have been expanded to give system administrators access to more of IMail's system configuration and management capabilities via the Web. With the implementation of IMAP4, careful management of server disk space will become even more important. IMail Server's new Mail Manager allows administrators to track disk usage and delete old mail as needed to enforce company-defined policies regarding user mail storage.
