SMTP Store and Forward

Corporate mail users maybe interested in our SMTP mail feeds rather than POP3 mail storage. SMTP permits direct delivery negating the need to 'pull down' mail from a POP3 mail box.

We offer three types of SMTP feed:

1. Direct via MX record
   This is the simplest and least expensive option. As all mail is handled via an MX record direct to your mail server. This is a no charge service.
   
2. Direct via MX record with SMTP backup
   As above but an additional MX record backs up mail to one of our remote SMTP servers in case you mail server is off-line for any reason. Again, this is a non-chargeable service where your domain is handled by us.
   
3. Indirect with first level virus scanning and junk mail filtering
   The primary MX record forwards mail to our primary mail server which performs virus and junk mail filtering. After processing, a local host file the redirect the email to your mail server. In the event of your mail server being off-line, mail is spooled (for a maximum of 3 days) until your server comes back on-line.
   
   Redundancy is provided for by additional MX record(s) pointing to our back up SMTP servers.
