This mode typically works best for the office with a small number of users. They want to concentrate and schedule their ISP access through one server but don't want to incur the expense of obtaining their own domain name. In other words, it is similar to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) providing individual email services.
These types of consumers want to consolidate multiple mail accounts and simplify access by using the Intel® InBusiness™ eMail Station to be their proxy agent. This proxy agent collects all the email for people in their office. This provides email accounts to employees who need it and local accounts to all employees.
While any number of local users may be defined on the eMail Station, Internet mail users must have independent email accounts with the ISP. Users may enter secondary or external email accounts to be collected in addition to their primary account.
Messages between local users are stored on the eMail Station without being transmitted to the ISP. Messages to and from users on the Internet are forwarded using each user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) account (Post Office Protocol (POP3) for retrieving, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for sending). In this way, the eMail Station acts as an email proxy agent for Internet mail users and a local email server for all users on the Local Area Network (LAN).
Review the Internet Service Provider (ISP) Checklist Overview which will provide the ISP additional information pertaining to the Intel® InBusiness™ eMail Station, and its corresponding technology (Mail Delivery Methods A, B or C).
