The Departmental Edition, also referred to as the Sun Internet Mail Server - Departmental Edition, is intended for local departmental environments that do not need the scalability and extensive configurability of an enterprise server. The departmental package performs its own routing and delivery within a local office or department, but hands off interdepartmental mail to an enterprise or backbone server. The package is simple to install and configure, and requires minimal operator intervention. The key features of the Sun Internet Mail Server - Departmental Edition are:
|
|
Multithreaded IMAP4 and POP3 servers. These are optimized for up to 500 simultaneously connected IMAP users. |
|
|
Internet Message Transfer Agent (IMTA). The IMTA is restricted to two external Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) channels. One channel is dedicated to the local intranet, and the other to a "smart host" backbone or firewall connection. |
|
|
Server daemon processes that are spawned by the multiprocessing inetd utility instead of the Dispatcher. |
|
|
Multiprocessing LDAP directory service. |
|
|
Full featured Sun Message Store (SMS). |
|
|
Centralized GUI Administration Console. |
