KEN! – 5 KEN! for the Network Specialist 97
E-mail Exchange between the KEN! Service PC and the
E-mail Provider
• The KEN! E-mail Server is compatible with the servers of
most E-mail providers.
• Every E-mail KEN! picks up from the Internet provider wi-
th POP3 is generally deleted there. However, it is possi-
ble to configure KEN! such that all incoming E-mail for
individual users is forwarded to the user’s own E-mail
address in the Internet and saved there.
• KEN! sends outgoing E-mail to the SMTP server bound
to the sender’s E-mail address.
• KEN! picks up E-mail for all KEN! Users from the POP3
servers linked to their E-mail addresses. KEN! does not
limit the number of users supported.
• The points of time at which E-mail is exchanged with the
Internet can be defined flexibly. (1) automatically, when
KEN! Users deliver to or pick up E-mail from KEN! within
a defined time interval (e.g., 60 minutes); (2) automati-
cally every time the program connects to the Internet,
e.g., for Internet access; (3) automatically every time a
KEN! User dispatches E-mail (in other words: all E-mail
for the Internet is sent immediately); (4) like (3), but
only for E-mail designated as “urgent”; (5) automatical-
ly at points of time defined on a matrix (weekday x time
of day); (6) by starting the KICKMAIL.EXE program, for
instance, using the Windows Task Planner.
• KEN! Service does not limit the number of POP3 ac-
counts supported.
• The KEN! E-mail server communicates with the Internet
via the name resolution internal to KEN! Service and
over the default route (0.0.0.0).
• By means of the E-mail address, KEN! distributes the
contents of a POP3 account at the E-mail provider to
one or more KEN! Users according to their E-mail ad-
dresses and to the internal POP3 accounts they have
been assigned.
