e-mail handling in DECT Messenger
After an e-mail is sent from the e-mail client to DECT Messenger, the
e-mail generally goes through an e-mail provider (through a server). In
this e-mail Server, relaying must be switched on, otherwise the e-mail is
not transferred to DECT Messenger. Also, the e-mail Server must know
to which PC the e-mail message is to be sent. Therefore, a DNS Server
must be assigned in the e-mail Server, and within that DNS server, an MX
record must define the relation to the DNS name of the DECT Messenger
PC.
After an e-mail is sent to DECT Messenger, the message arrives at the
IIS SMTP server. The IIS SMTP Server stores the mail message as a file
in a specified directory on the hard disk. This directory is the interface
between IIS and the eSMTP_Server software. The eSMTP_Server checks
the contents of this directory every 10 seconds. If there is a mail message,
eSMTP_Server loads and analyses it as follows:
• The e-mail address on DECT Messenger (for example,
[e-mail]) is the message destination (a Group in the
DECT Messenger configuration).
• The subject of the e-mail message is the message that is sent.
• The originator’s e-mail address is the address to which the confirmation
message is sent using the eSMTP client.
