How email gets into VisNetic MailFlow (Page 3 of 9)
VisNetic MailFlow software operates independently of, and integrates with, your existing email service. Many companies will use their own established mail server to send and receive customer email. Others will leverage the email services provided by their ISP. In either case, VisNetic MailFlow will interoperate seamlessly with nearly any email server that supports POP3.
The following diagram illustrates how email enters VisNetic MailFlow:
The VisNetic MailFlow service engine incorporates a high-capacity mail conduit, which is capable of retrieving email from (and sending email via) any number of mail server accounts. Email messages are stored in the VisNetic MailFlow database, and subsequently processed by the routing engine (more on this below).
VisNetic MailFlow offers tremendous flexibility in its interaction with mail servers, including:
- The ability to define any number of email message sources and destinations
- Robust support for attachments of nearly any type (MIME, QP, Base64, Binhex, uuencode, etc.)
- The ability to simultaneously send & receive email via multiple accounts
- POP3 message retrieval authentication (APOP protocol)
- SMTP message delivery authentication (CRAM-MD5 and LOGIN protocols)
- Ability to leave copies of email messages on the server as they are retrieved
- Configurable send & receive intervals (as well as manual triggers)
- Configurable connection properties, such as port settings, connection timeouts, etc.
- Powerful outbound message spooler with automatic retries, delivery failure notifications, automated bounce processing, etc.
- Antivirus scanning via the VisNetic AntiVirus Plug-in
- Maximum inbound and outbound message sizes, enforced at the transport level
Benefit: The retrieval of email messages into the VisNetic MailFlow database provides the basis for its powerful and flexible email processing capabilities.
