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.
