EFS Pop3 Connector 5.60.05

EFS Pop3 Connector 5.60.05 is professionally designed as a Pop3 Connector that retrieves email from a POP3 account at your ISP and distributes the messages to users mailboxes on a local SMTP mail server such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. Supports unlimited users, account aliasing, brief and detailed transaction windows, advanced scheduling, transaction logging, custom header checking, pre-check pinging, and much more. It even supports mailing lists. Run the standard version for free or register the advanced version to receive additional features. EFS makes an excellent replacement for the somewhat limited Microsoft SBS POP3 Connector.

EFS is a "POP3 Connector" (also known as "mail forwarding" or "mail relay" software etc). It was originally designed to provide a cost-effective way of retrieving Internet based mail and delivering any messages to an internal mail server, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes/Domino (or in fact any RFC compliant SMTP mail server). You do not need a fulltime connection to the Internet to run EFS - it works with both static (full time) and dynamic (part time) IP addresses.

The best part about EFS is that once its setup, it is basically maintenance free. Similar mail retrieval programs usually require you to add a separate mailbox for every user that mail will be distributed for - the simple downside of this, continuous maintenance and double data-entry. EFS does away with this by allowing you to specify the domain that you will be accepting mail for (just as you are required to do for your mail server). It is this "Internal routing" feature that makes EFS unique amongst most other POP3 retrievers, the ability to accept and deliver mail for your domain.

NOTE THAT EFS IS A ONE-WAY OPERATION (ISP MAIL -> EFS -> LOCAL MAIL SERVER) IT DOES NOT SEND MAIL FROM YOUR MAIL SERVER TO THE INTERNET. Typically this is done automatically by simply configuring an "SMTP SMART HOST" or by using "DNS LOOKUP" available on most Mail Servers

Major Features:

1. You would setup EFS to accept mail for your domain, eg: "chimera.co.nz"
2. It checks for mail from ISP "chimera" account via the POP3 (incoming) proxy.
3. It then extracts and addresses LOCAL recipients from each message, relaying those messages to the local mail server.
4. The mail server distributes the messages into the appropriate users accounts, or, if the user doesn't exist, returns an NDR (undeliverable) message back to the original sender.

Enhancements: may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Requirements:

• A domain name such as "mydomain.com"
• A  single "catch-all" Pop3 account where all "mydomain.com" mail goes
• A mail server such as Microsoft Exchange Server (or any RFC compliant SMTP server)
