- Description
- -----------
-
- Autoroute SMTP is designed for automatic switching between SMTP
- servers depending on what network you are currently working in.
- E. g. you have two Internet service providers - FIRST and SECOND.
- Normally, IP address authorisation is used for SMTP servers,
- therefore when you are connected to the FIRST ISP you can send
- mail to any e-mail address from any e-mail address through his
- mail server (e.g., SMTP.FIRST.COM). In the same way, having
- established connection with the SECOND ISP you can freely use
- its server SMTP.SECOND.COM. But not vice versa.
-
- Normally, in that situation user has to get a e-mail address
- from a free mail server and use its SMTP server to deliver mail,
- though server of ones ISP ensures much faster and more convenient
- delivery. The problem is that one has two ISP's. Autoroute SMTP
- offers solution for that problem. The only thing you have to do
- is to enter one mail server with address localhost (or 127.0.0.1)
- in your mail client settings. Then, the mail client will establish
- connection with Autoroute SMTP, and Autoroute SMTP will
- automatically switch it to the right server.
-
- To choose the right server, Autoroute SMTP compares your IP
- address to IP addresses of SMTP servers you have entered and
- chooses one that is located in your sub-net. If no server was
- found, Autoroute SMTP can use server your specified in the
- settings. You can also disable automatic server detection, or
- even choose a mail server in automatic mode yourself from the
- list you have created by clicking the "Next >>" button.
-
- With Autoroute SMTP you always can easily show the way to your
- messages.
