This module is capable of receiving and handling e-mail messages.

Figure 42 "Sending e-mail from client to DECT Messenger" (page

138) shows the path of an e-mail message from client to DECT

Messenger.

Figure 42

Sending e-mail from client to DECT Messenger

In DECT Messenger, the eSMTP_Server works in cooperation with the

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). It is possible that other e-mail

servers can be used instead of IIS, but they are not supported.

• eSMTP (client)

eSMTP behaves like an e-mail client program that sends e-mail

messages to an e-mail server. The format is the standard SMTP

(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) defined in the RFC 821 specification.

If a Lotus Notes Domino server is installed on the system, there

must also be a Lotus Notes SMTP server that is capable of receiving

SMTP messages from DECT Messenger. You cannot send an e-mail

message from DECT Messenger directly to a Domino server.

Using eSMTP Server

How eSMTP Works

The eSMTP_Server handles incoming e-mail messages, working in

cooperation with IIS. In Figure 43 "e-mail handling in DECT Messenger"

(page 139) the structure of the e-mail path is depicted.
