Create and Manage Mailing Lists for Large Email Distributions

Businesses can use SmarterMail’s mailing list feature to send mass emails to customers regarding special promotions, product updates, or company news. Create custom templates, manage opt-in email lists, and distribute email communications quickly and easily. Automatic detection and removal of bounced emails for ensure greater efficiency in mailing list maintenance.

Plus, administrators can use the prioritization and throttling features to manage email delivery so that even the largest mailing list distributions do not interfere with the normal flow of email traffic on the mail server—thereby improving server load management and decreasing support costs.

Use Advanced Archiving for Management and Compliance

More organizations are requiring advanced, searchable archiving to accommodate industry and regulatory requirements. SmarterMail 6.x provides full message archiving at the mailbox, domain, and system level for inbound and outbound email messages and complies with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Health Industry Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other regulatory requirements.

Prevent Abuse with Throttling

Throttling allows the number of messages, amount of bandwidth, and/or the number of bounced messages to be limited for domains, users, or mailing lists over a given amount of time. Throttling is an effective method for managing large mailing list distributions to avoid interruptions or delays in normal email flow. When used in conjunction with SmarterMail’s event-driven architecture, actions can be automated to prevent abuse in real-time.

Manage Email Delivery with Priority Spooling

Email delivery can be more effectively managed by setting priorities based upon email types. Process-intensive email traffic can be assigned a lower priority, allowing regular emails to process first and avoiding unnecessary delays. Emailed notifications can be assigned higher priority to ensure that important information is delivered quickly.

Automate Mail Server Tasks with Web Services

SmarterMail was designed to support easy administration and automation. Through the use of Web services, companies can integrate SmarterMail with external applications such as control panels to reduce costs and automate tasks, including:

• Creating mailboxes and domains
• Determining domain-specific bandwidth usage for billing
• Creating and modifying settings for mailboxes, domains, or entire servers
• Retrieving settings and information on mailboxes, domains, or entire servers

View and Download Log Files with Ease

SmarterMail makes reviewing log files quick and efficient by eliminating the need for multiple tools or applications to view them. From anywhere in the world, system administrators have the ability to respond to users more quickly by being able to view logs using the SmarterMail Web interface or by downloading them as .zip files for later use. This unique feature, unmatched by other mail servers on the market, allows organizations to save valuable time and money.
