e-mail handling in DECT Messenger

After an e-mail is sent from the e-mail client to DECT Messenger, the

e-mail generally goes through an e-mail provider (through a server). In

this e-mail Server, relaying must be switched on, otherwise the e-mail is

not transferred to DECT Messenger. Also, the e-mail Server must know

to which PC the e-mail message is to be sent. Therefore, a DNS Server

must be assigned in the e-mail Server, and within that DNS server, an MX

record must define the relation to the DNS name of the DECT Messenger

PC.

After an e-mail is sent to DECT Messenger, the message arrives at the

IIS SMTP server. The IIS SMTP Server stores the mail message as a file

in a specified directory on the hard disk. This directory is the interface

between IIS and the eSMTP_Server software. The eSMTP_Server checks

the contents of this directory every 10 seconds. If there is a mail message,

eSMTP_Server loads and analyses it as follows:

• The e-mail address on DECT Messenger (for example,

1010@messenger5.com) is the message destination (a Group in the

DECT Messenger configuration).

• The subject of the e-mail message is the message that is sent.

• The originator’s e-mail address is the address to which the confirmation

message is sent using the eSMTP client.
