General
The key to FineLine Internet MailServer's ease in set-up and use is that it makes the multiuser UNIX system look like a regular PC e-mail program (ex: Outlook, Thunderbird, etc) to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) so it can use a standard Internet PC account yet still support multiple users receiving e-mail in the same mailbox.
- Enables having an entire company send and retrieve Internet e-mail with a single Internet account
- Addition and deletion of users is all done locally, without requiring any contact with the ISP or changing any mailbox names
- Provides the functionality of the system mail program without the setup and maintenance headaches
- Includes SMTP & POP3 servers for connecting PCs and other systems to the FineLine Internet MailServer, enabling them to access Internet e-mail through the UNIX Internet connection
- Works transparently with the FineLine Message Manager, or any UNIX e-mail interface program
- Includes a basic e-mail filtering system for weeding out unwanted e-mail messages
- Includes a POP mailbox maintenance program that enables accessing a mailbox on the Internet interactively. This feature enables viewing and printing message headers or entire messages, and deleting any combination of messages without having to download them to your system (a great way to delete a troublesome incoming message before it gets to your system).
- Enables attaching multiple files to a message with standard BASE64 from a command-line
- Includes an "auto-attendant" feature that can automatically detach and process data files attached to incoming messages
- Supports multiple domain names on the same system and multiple Internet POP e-mail accounts
- Handles incoming & outgoing system mail functions including returning mail with an announcement, auto forwarding, return-receipt, user name mapping and more
- Supports Authenticated SMTP servers (starting with version 2.1 - see below for upgrade information)
- Takes only minutes to install and configure
Requirements
- POP3 (incoming) and/or SMTP (outgoing) e-mail account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- A full-time Internet connection (ex: DSL, T1, etc.)
- For incoming mail support, either a registered Domain Name with Virtual Domain Support from the ISP (so all incoming messages for a domain name are placed into one POP3 mailbox) or the ISP forwards each incoming message directly to the MailServer's SMTP server for local delivery (requires your UNIX server to be running 24/7)
Supported UNIX platforms
- SCO OpenServer 5 / 6
- SCO UnixWare 7
- Linux
- IBM AIX

Upgrade Pricing - 2.0 to 2.1 (Adds Auth SMTP support)
Upgrade Pricing - 1.X to 2.0
Directions: Using your current number of registered users in version 1, find the upgrade cost per user in the table below and multiply the two to determine the cost to upgrade to version 2.0 for the same number of users (then add the $185 upgrade fee for the current version 2.1). Note that the number of users cannot be increased with this upgrade pricing (see standard pricing above for adding users).
