EFS - WHAT IS REQUIRED???

REQUIREMENTS

BACK



You DO...

  • ... require a domain name such as "mydomain.com"
  • ... require a single "catch-all" Pop3 account where all "mydomain.com" mail goes
  • ... need a mail server such as Microsoft Exchange Server (or any RFC compliant SMTP server)


  • You do NOT...

  • ... require a static IP address. EFS can work with both static and dynamically assigned IP addresses
  • ... need to continually maintain EFS such as adding new users - once it's setup, you rarely need to touch it!
  • ... need to configure ETRN (a somewhat dangerous protocol for retrieving mail)
  • ... need DNS (domain name server) setup (although it is preferred)
  • ... need multiple and costly Pop accounts at your ISP. All mail is routed to and picked up from a single mailbox.
  • ... need to pay your ISP $$$ to route mail to you - that's EFS' job!
