This version of MERCUR SMTP/POP3-Server for Windows NT is a 30 days
testversion. Use the File ORDER.TXT to order a full licenced version
of MERCUR. 

MERCUR is a full featured SMTP/POP3-Server for Windows NT. The Server
is running as a Windows NT Systemservice and can be installed easily
and configured easily with the assistance of the Windows NT Controlpanel.

MERCUR can be used as a simple Gateway to route SMTP-Messages, for auto-
matic POP3-Lookup on remote POP3-Servers or as a real SMTP/POP3-Mailserver.

MERCUR is in accordance with the current Standards of SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol in RFC821), POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3 in
RFC1460) and DNS (Domain Name System in RFC882, -883). 


Features
· Sending and Receiving SMTP-Messages
  Send your message with a suited mailprogram to MERCUR. It is of no 
  importance wheter the reciever of the message is local or anywhere 
  else in the worldwide Internet. MERCUR determines automatically the 
  real destination-address and passes your mail on. Incoming mails will 
  be placed in their corresponding mailbox by MERCUR, as desired with a 
  copy to another user.

· Check for waiting mail by POP3
  You can query your mailbox for new mail, whenever you want. New messages
  are available in your personal mailbox as long as you collect them. 

· Administration for multiple Domains
  You can manage users and mailing lists with different domains. The 
  destination addresses of incoming messages will be checked for member-
  ship and accordingly distributed by  MERCURt. Messages addressed to 
  mailboxes on non-local Domains, will be passed to the responsible Server.

· Administration for users on local and non-local mailboxes
  MERCUR creates a separate mailbox for every user. You can specify the
  same mailbox for multiple users or multiple mailboxnames for one user. 
  Mailboxes on remote servers are defined as remote mailboxes and can be 
  managed inside your local domain.

· Mailing-Lists
  Create a mailing-list, to send messages automatically to more than one 
  recipients. The number of mailinglist-members is unlimited. Send your 
  mail simply to the mail-address of the mailing-list, then MERCUR passes 
  the mail to each list-member. 

· Automatic response to incoming mail
  Incoming mail can be automatically answered by MERCUR. The sender-addresses
  of the incoming messages can be added automatically to a mailing-list. In 
  this way, you get an easy overview to all addresses and a good foundation 
  to send messages to all in one step.

· Mail-Routing
  The outgoing mails will be updated periodically. MERCUR automatically 
  determines the destinationhosts for the outgoing messages and passes 
  them directly there to.

· POP3-Lookup on Remote-Servers
  In some cases, the network connection to the Internet-Provider is not 
  permanent and exists only if required. If you have this kind of Internet-
  Connection, MERCUR periodically asks the remotelly POP3-Server for new mail 
  and puts it into the local mailbox. You can activate this option for each 
  user separately.

· Event-Logging
  MERCUR contains extensivs protocol-functions, to control all events on the 
  server. The event-log shows possible errors or also the complete datatransfer.
