Architecture

The components of InterMail are:

  • POP3 - the client access server that supports the POP3 protocol
  • IMAP4 - the client access server that supports the IMAP4 protocol (pre-release version in the Tornado release)
  • MSS - the Message Store Server that is responsible for storing users' mail
  • MTA - the Message Transport Agent that delivers SMTP mail into and out of the system
  • High Performance Directory - a single large directory for the user base
  • Administration - a centralized system with command line access
