This easy to use, but extremely useful option offers you an IP security system to ensure that particular accounts are only available to access from some particular IP address or IP addresses range.

It is often convenient, or required, to allow users to manage their own accounts, and Domain Administrators usually have the privileges required to create new accounts in their domains. With all this convenience comes the risk that accounts will be created with, or modified to use, insecure passwords. Merak will not allow a new account to be created, or an existing account to be modified, that does not have a password that meets the policy you set.

The types are Standard domain, ETRN-ATRN, Domain alias, Backup domain and Distributed domain. Each is used in different scenario and have predefined properties. Take the advantage with Merak!

Domain specific automatic setting to ease the process of what is done in case an email arrives to an unknown account. One click straight-forward setting offering predefined or advanced actions.

Domain expiration, disk quota limits, user mailboxes limits within domain, maximum message size, this all can be defined and changed without any problems through any administration interface - GUI, WebAdmin, command-line tool, scrpits.

Uniquely with IceWarp domain can be logically bound onto one or more IPs. Speed up the access in case having many domains and each has a unique IP. The IP address and hostname is used for outgoing connection as unique value for each domain. IceWarp will automatically use the first IP Address of the domain for outgoing connections.

For proffesionality and convenicence we offer simple and effective domain customization. With IceWarp you have the possibility to set different header and footer for each domain. The header and footer files are in HTML or TXT file formats. Avanced usage in particular scenarios can be set with conditions all along.

IceWarp in standard and proffesional versions offer unlimited domains and accounts number. IceWarp internal engine is incredibly rock-stable and have no problem with great numbers of domains and users. Combined with load balanced installation and ODBC, IceWarp is solution for world-wide ISP with milions of users!

You can choose from user accounts, mailing lists, list servers, groups of users, remote accounts with DomainPOP, executables, catalogues, static routes, notifications - each with tuned up performance and frutiful number of options and features. Taking advantage of every account type offers comfort and great simplification of your administrators life.

Domain POP is a very powerful feature where Merak parses all messages received from the remote servers and places them in proper mailboxes based on the message headers and other information. DomainPOP settings are provided with maximum user-friendliness and transparence.

User Groups are special item containers you can use to apply the same settings for as many objects/users/domains at once. Once you create a User Group and you want to change any setting for all members, you can simply edit the User Group. Groups are very similar to Mailing Lists, but Groups are more general and flexible. Mailing lists can also be a member of the group, but it is possible to set Group for a groupware sharing.

Advanced auto responder lets you customize the message, time periods as well as other useful settings can be provided for auto responder feature.

Using mailing lists and list servers with IceWarps Communication solution you will get full list server with password support, moderated mailing lists, restricting message sizes, customized, headers and footers, subscription files and selectable response text files, possibility of setting To, Reply To and From fields, members only mode, maximum mailbox size limit and many more!

Executables are good ways of running jobs/processes on a server without having to use any remote admin tools. With executables you can, among other vaulable features: forward to another email address,execute any program, pass session parameters such as From, To, message file.

Remote account are primarily used for picking messages from other POP3 servers. With IceWarp comunication solution you can also take advantage of APOP secure authentication, domain POP, scheduling, smart sorting, junk mail filtering, virus protection.

Static routes provide simplified version of forwarding mechanism, combing the best of content filtering and routing. However with static routes you can perform smart functions such as external filter DLLs and executables usage, use of the internal filter, take advantage of rich offer of actions, use them for domain filtering or even define your own module.

Within notification setting it is very easy to use forwarding to another email address, split message, use certain defined filters,add own headers or even convert it to SMS or replace whole body!

IceWarp Communication Server is fully complaint with all communication standards and offers complete support for SMTP, IMAP, POP3, FTP, and HTTP, SIP/VoIP. Encryption is support for all protocols for a high level of security. SNMP, LDAP, ODBC communications are provided for management and integration at sophisticated sites.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. allows you to locate organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files and devices in a network, regardless if you are on the Internet or on a corporate intranet. Additionally, it does not matter whether or not you know the domain name, IP address, or geographic whereabouts. .

All services are detaily separately logged and thus you can monitor the activity on your server.Logs can be saved either to the text files or to the DB and you can show entries from logs directly in Merak Config.

If server works continuously for a long time, it is can produce log files of too large size, using this feature will split logs into several smaller files.

Developers feature that means whenever any event is logged, the Windows API function C_System_Logging_General_SystemLogFunction will be called with the event log value. .

For better organizing, convenience and comfort you can easily insert logs into any database type using the ODBC. Setting is user friendly and the functionality is valuable.

Intelligent and powerful automatic scheduled configurable system backup. One click for system backup and one click for system restore. There are also specific options you can set for the backup functions, such as backup user data located in mail directories, backup the license, backup all mails, skip backup of old mails or skip backup of extremely large mail messages.

Useful and in companies very regarded and needed feature for automatic, schedulable and configurable mail archiving purposes. You can specify additional options such as sequential auto archive, archive backup and of course selection of domains for archive performace.

Service watchdog feature monitors the specified services and if any of them being down it will automatically try to restart it. Select the services you require to be monitored and select the interval option after which the service watchdog checks should be performed. And thats it!

The System Monitor resides in the SMTP service and monitors critical parts of your system such as memory, CPU and disk quota. If any of the events occur an alert will be sent by email. Additional options as well as certain limits can be easily set through any administration possibility.

Tuned up feature Tasks and events lets you perform desried actions and/or execture any application or process at a defined event occurence or upon given time schedule. It can also reload configuration settings upon external devices.

Remote Server Watchdog monitors remote servers, URLs and other remote systems of specific services and perform intelligent checks and actions based on the monitoring results, such as automatically download the changed content of the URL or alert defined user by email or IM.

Tunnel is a TCP/IP gateway listening on a specified port and forwarding all TCP/IP datagrams to a destination address and port in both directions. It can be easily secured with SSL/TLS.

Server Migration Tool allows you to migrate all domains, users and their e-mail messages from any 3rd party mail server to a Merak Email Server. It is an easy way to migrate without interruption of mail service and without knowing the list of users and their passwords. The Merak Email Server Migration Tool is integrated in Merak Email Server Administration Console.

Professional file system works the same as the standard file system plus it performs additional caching functions. It stores the most used accounts in the memory and makes sure the access to those accounts is fast.

The main function of the load balancer is to direct traffic to servers with the least amount of connections. Using Merak is simple configurable, reliable and high performance.

Mailbox path alphabetical sorting, is a feature that will significantly increase the performance, speed and stability of your system. If enabled a specified number of characters out of alias will be used for mailbox creation and sorting.

Merak is one of the most quickest and high performance servers among others also thanks to DNS Query smart cache memory is a powerful feature which can process more than 10000 DNS queries per one second. It uses the real DNS TTL and caches all performed DNS queries in memory.

If you are small office and use dial-up to connect to Internet we recommend to use integrated intelligent schedulilng for dial-up connection to Internet. With it, you can have full control and full access to all settings with one click and on one place.

IceWarp server offers the possibility to create your own SSL certificates, assign any SSL certificate to particular IPs of your server and secure connection for any hostname and for any service.

IceWarp Server offers this unique feature to distinguish the hostnames for which you demand SSL connection and prevents DNS spoofing. Every client session (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) coming for this secured hostname will be validated and verified against the conditions.

One check-box only need to be ticked-on, but deep multithreaded paralelistic computation support is then enabled.

This feature lets you change users' passwords over the POP3 protocol, but only when this feature is supported by the mail client. !

Merak supports the IPv6 protocol completely including the AAAA DNS records and IPv6 service binding

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the internet protocol suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force. The protocol can support monitoring of network-attached devices for any conditions that warrant administrative attention.

Merak lets you synchronize your whole network time over the IceWarp communication server. Merak will listen on the specified port, 13 by default. Also you can simply set Merak to use the atomic clock synchronization and make sure the server has the system clock set properly.

Control the behavior of the supported protocols with easy and transparent setting of:

• Session inactivity timeout
• Protocol response delay
• Maximum protocol bad commands
• Maximum number of outstanding connection request

Patterns let you specify a group of users or items in Merak. Patterns are special item containers you can use by simple specifying in any Merak options. Instead of just typing in multiple item data you can create a group and then specify the group directly in that option. Patterns can be used in:Account names Access Black and White filters and they can include other patterns IP addresses with masks email and domains with masks account names with masks

Among the most successful and powerful we and our customers count:

• Closed relay
• Intrusion Prevention
• Domain IP shielding
• HELO-EHLO filter
• DNS MX and A record authorization
• rDNS authentication
• DNSBL support
• SPF with SRS support
• Intelligent definable filters
• and many more...

SMTP routing feature completely redirects any emails passing through your server based on the recipient's email address. A complete and rich format is available where you can performs even the most demanding tasks. With this feature you can completely replace the final recipient of the session. It allows you to redirect even relayed only messages. You can also redirect all emails for a domain to one email address.

Closed relay means that anyone who wants to relay (send) via your server, will have to authenticate himself/herself. You can define special IP addresses in straight foreard Relay IPs dialog that are bypassed and are authenticated automatically.

Use IceWarp server integrated setting to distingush the domains that are or are not authorized. If the sender of the message is a local user (claims to be from your local domain) they have to authorize themselves. Authorization can be done using the SMTP authentication, relaying from IP address or the POP before SMTP feature. This feature can reject also local users if they authenticate against different SMTP server, eg. their ISP SMTP server.

A DNSBL is a service which provides a list of known spammers' IP addresses. The DNS server is used as a database or directory mechanism to store their IP addresses along with some other information. It can also be used as a DNSWL where the DNS server stores the IP addresses of genuine senders. In such cases you can use the DNS server for white listing and black listing purposes.

A security option that requires all servers sending to your server to have a reverse DNS PTR record (rDNS). If not, these sessions will be rejected

A security option that requires all servers to have a valid sender's email address. Such email addresses must have a proper DNS MX or A record. If not sessions will be rejected.

Unique system security feature easy enabled by value greater then zero that will perform a specified delay before processing an incoming SMTP connection Spammer's servers usually disconnect after a short period of time. Normal servers waits for longer time period. This option is also tied with "Relaying from", so the IPs are bypassed.

Domain IP shielding is a additional option for the Relaying from feature. If you require the relaying from feature to use hostnames you have to assign the IP addresses of such hosts to the particular domains. If not done so, anybody could be able to relay through your server.

System security feature makes the mail server require the HELO or EHLO to be present in the SMTP session. If not, such sessions will be rejected. The file is a filter for the name of the server that is specified during the HELO/EHLO command in an SMTP session so you can easily block some servers without knowing their actual IPs.

Intrusion Prevention monitors all unsuccessful attempts to deliver messages to unknown users and if the number of such attempts exceeds the count limit, the IP address of the sender will be blocked for a period of time and no access from that IP address will be allowed. IceWarp offers an integrated monitoring and management system that allows you to:

• Close blocked connections
• Block connections permanently
• Allow cross-session and cross-protocol monitoring
• Set the number of attempts and time period for blocking

Security standard SPF with SRS is fully supported by IceWarp communication server.

You can restict and deny variety of protocol weaknesses:

• Disable SMTP EHLO command (ESMTP Protocol)
• Deny SMTP AUTH command
• Deny SMTP EXPN command
• Deny SMTP VRFY command
• Deny telnet access

Content filters are powerful and very scalable part of the system. Any Content Filter is able to parse messages based on their body content and provide different actions. IIt operates at the global server level, however the parameters of the CF allow you to provide actions for selected users, senders, domains, etc. Setting individual filters is easy and transparent. You have also the possibility to export/import XML any content filter.

Easy to use dialog will help you to set the filter rules and actions. Black and white list offers filtering based on various conditions and perform variety of actions based on the result value of condition evaluation.

External filters are arbitraryl DLL modules that are loaded in memory and each time a message is received all filters are applied to it. These module can return results so Merak can handle the message accordingly. The message can be accepted, deleted, rejected or marked as spam..

WebAdmin lets communication server administrators to maintain all modules, options and settings via Internet. Domain administrators can also use WebAdmin to manage the domains/accounts for which they have the permissions. The interface is very close to communication server Windows's graphical user interface.

The graphical user interface was arrange with respect to logical structure of all options. The tree manu allows you to navigate to any part easily and has a better view of all Merak Email Server parts. Itis divided into nodes such as System or Domains and Accounts and to sections according to the modules such as Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, etc. Second part is the main panel where appropriate options are shown. It is designed even for 800x600 resolution so you have easy access to all options even though you access your server via Terminal Service with low resolution.

Internal security option such that authentication will be required to access the Merak Administration Console. The easy accessible flag in the Options menu is set directly in the configuration files so when backup and restore operations are performed, it will still require authentication.

Graphical user interface of administration console and all the toolbar are XML driven so they can easily be customized to match the particular needs of its users. Two predefined modes for interface - advanced and basic can be used in most cases, however it is very simple to create own customized interface, where selected nodes and options are only shown.

IceWarp is international and fully localized into more than 20 languages. The possibility to change administration console language directly through graphical user interface is therefore welcome.

This powerful feature lets you export accounts from the selected domains to a specially formatted file (MAE). The file will include all account properties including the email, name, account type and password. You can easily edit the file, change properties and delete records.

Exhaustive information about all options and settings available after a single keypress is context sensitive, so you will never have to search the location of the help topic. Tips, tricks, how-tos, operational strategies and examples are also included. Anyway, help file is organized in exactly the same way as the options is adminstration console.

The command line tool allows you to administer all settings on your Merak Email Server from command line. You can modify or change any option on the server and you can use this tool to administer even domains and accounts. The tool is called tool.exe and you can find it in the Merak rootfolder directly after installation. The tool supports creation/deletion/modification of any account/domain on the server and modification or any option on the server. Additionally, you can just display any option in either in option-value format or in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format.

Included in default IceWarp Communication Server installation the Web Server is powerful, scalable and easy to use webserver with many unique features like server side scripting (SSI) and extensions (ISAPI, CGI, FASTCGI) support. Multiple virtual hosts Speed optimalization Solid security Detailed logging Access restrictions Bulit-in proxy with antivirus

IceWarp Server contains full featured proxy server with antivirus. Various

All the connections are logged in W3C format which is standardized format so you can use your own or standard powerful parsers, etc. to analyze it easily.

WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.

Directory content listing is allowed within the current website. If the Merak web server cannot find a page with any of the names defined, it will create an index page listing the files in the directory.

Any website hosted within integrated webserver can be secured with a login safeguard. Access can be resricted with various security options.

The redirect feature changes the URL automatically. When a user accesses the Source URL (the relative URL added behind the default hostname), he/she is automatically redirected to the Destination URL.You can use asterisk there to include all the path behind the specified one in the redirection.

You can customize all HTTP errors that are sent to clients when any error occurs on the Web server. You can use generic HTTP 1.1 errors (Default ones), your own custom error files where you can describe the error more, or redirect them to a special URL dedicated to such errors

By one-click you can view both queues - Incoming and Outgoing or you can view the messages from user's mailbox. There you can choose either user's regular inbox or the spam folder. It lists all the messages from chosen destination and moreover, you can double-click the message in the list and it opens the message in text editor.

The Challenge Queue dialog shows the presence and the history of the Challenge Response messages. It is possible to see current pending challenges as well as the accepted/rejected etc. ones. The dialog also allows to control the items listed in the queue.

Graphic charts of traffic on your server. You can choose not only particular services to be shown but different types of messages can be shown as well. e.g. Received or Send, etc. Of course, you can adjust the time period to be shown so you can see charts per day, per week or per month.

Logs monitoring feature allows you to show any part of logs on your server. You can choose the type of logs (even Error logs and Instant Messaging Archive can be shown), the Date and exact period of that date to be shown. Special option is to Strip Date which means that complete Date from all lines will be stripped to make looking at the logs more comfortable.

Bulit-in complete statistics about all the services: the amount of data they transferred, the number of connections and many more!

Session monitoring and session history works with live data and lets you perform various operations with services sessions including killing, viewing of logs and history viewing.

User Statistics let you monitor the email usage of your users. This feature keeps a log of all sent and received messages statistics along with some other information. Nice graphical interface with export possibilities.

A daily email report of quarantined messages can be sent to each user (who is set up for it) showing a list of quarantined messages for that user. Details shown include Subject, From, Date/Time etc..

An RBL function has been added to the SpamAssassin section, allowing you to check incoming messages against a number of RBL resources for an indication of spam.

Razor2 is a distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering network. Spam is reported by users worldwide as it is received and a signature of a random part of the message is recorded in the Razor2 database. The signature is regularly re-created using a different random section of the message so spammers can not modify their messages to fool the system.

Merak now has simplified Black and White List management, allowing you to block, or trust, senders, domains, and IP addresses.

Keyword lists are now available as part of both the BlackList and WhiteList functions.

Indexing queues are now available to help you increase the accuracy of your installations Bayesian Filters and to automate your BlackList and WhiteList email addresses.

Three optimized levels of Spam Settings are available using a simple drop-down select box. This allows Administrators to quickly set AntiSpam processing to a level of security that can be tweaked as time goes on.

Three optimized levels of Spam Settings are available using a simple drop-down select box. This allows Administrators to quickly set AntiSpam processing to a level of security that can be tweaked as time goes on.

AntiSpam logging has been greatly improved, allowing you to see exactly why a message was scored as spam.

Once installed a fully licensed AntiSpam module you can forget about updates of the reference base. AntiSpam module reference base updates are automatically downloaded and installed transparently into your system on schedular basis or manually hitting a button.

Whole AntiSpam module is based on score. It means that every AntiSpam method and every AntiSpam option scores up the total message score and at the end this score is analyzed. According to this resulting (total) score the message is or is not marked as Spam or is Quarantined. .

Messages that reached score for quarantine are sent to special quarantine address or addresses for revision.

This option in antispam module will create a special "Spam Folder" for the user that allows the Instant Anti Spam Engine to place all Spam e-mail automatically into this special folder. With this feature enabled, Merak will place only genuine e-mails in the user's Inbox while separating e-mail identified as Spam into their Spam Folder.

SPF technology offers the domain owner to add an additional DNS record for the domain owned, stating machines that are authorized to send email messages from this domain. Any receiver machine that is SPF compliant finds suspicious all mails claiming to come from a domain, that fails the authorized location analysis that domain defined in DNS.

For proffesionality and convenicence we offer simple and effective domain customization. With IceWarp you have the possibility to set different header and footer for each domain. The header and footer files are in HTML or TXT file formats. Avanced usage in particular scenarios can be set with conditions all along.

DomainKeys technology is a proposed email authentication system for validating and proving authenticity of the domain of an email sender and also the message consistency and completeness. DomainKeys performs functions analogous to Sender Policy Framework (SPF), because it stops falsification of email sender domains. But, DomainKey technology is more complex than SPF, because it can also ensure that the content of the email was not changed or altered in any way during the SMTP transit.

You can choose from user accounts, mailing lists, list servers, groups of users, remote accounts with DomainPOP, executables, catalogues, static routes, notifications - each with tuned up performance and frutiful number of options and features. Taking advantage of every account type offers comfort and great simplification of your administrators life.

Greylisting is a fancy method for spam controlling. It is based on the fact, that spammers and unsolicited email senders do not use machines compilant with internet standards. Greylisting prevents spam by responding with a temporary SMTP error after the fist attempt for message delivery. 99% of spam and viruses are sent from mail bombers (automated mail sending programs) which do not ever try to deliver the mail again, so these are blocked for good. Normal mailservers retry after a temporary error a bit later and Greylisting is allowing the message through.

Challenge/Response is a system that requires the sender of an email to verify that he/she actually sent the email. Re-confirmation must be provided manually for Challenge/Response to work. If the e-mail was sent by a mass-mailing system, there is usually no human at the email address that is used in the "From" header, thus re-confirmation cannot be provided. You also have a bunch of settings that will ease the usage and help you customize challenge text, etc.

The statistical occurrence of words in an e-mail are compared with the "Reference Base" which results in a "probability" that that e-mail is or is not Spam. The result (percentage value) is then substituted by a score value that is finally added to the Spam Assassin score total. Bayesian Filters are extremely powerful and accurate.

The set of body filters was developed to "catch" most of the automatically generated emails, which are usually provided by some active-x components (automated Spam mailers). These emails are mostly different from the ones created by regular clients. These filters are very effective in blocking most of the "html based spam", which are very popular now. Based on body they allow you to score messages containing:

• external SCR URL
• no text
• script code
• different content or text/plain and text/html parts
• no subject and no body
• and more

Many times the best protection against unwanted e-mails is rejecting e-mails written in certain languages. This recognition is determined by checking for this feature used in the message header. You can easily set charsets for all languages you do not want to accept.

AntiSpam module can work for all account objects created within the server like mailing lists, static routes, notifications, catalogues,... The antispam engine is executed and it is up to mail server or spam administrator to use Content Filters or Black and White Lists to ensure wanted behavior.

The Anti-Virus engine lets you scan all incoming/outgoing messages during SMTP transmission and perform actions based on the result of a message being infected by a virus. Merak uses the award winning extra fast multi threaded Avast antivirus engine for Windows platform and Virus bulletin multiple award winner AVG engine for Linux platform.

With fully licenses AntiVirus module you can take advantage of active update triggers. The active update technology lets you subscribe to our online mailing list and whenever a new virus base has been released your antivirus engine will be immediately notified and your engine will automatically download the new virus base update.

AntiVirus internat database of viruses and other malware can be automatically updated on schedular basis.

EICAR (European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) is a consortium of independent experts in antivirus industry. EICAR offers an test virus message. Since it is unacceptable for you to send out real viruses for test or demonstration purposes, you need a file that can safely be passed around and which is obviously non-viral, but which your anti-virus software will react to as if it were a virus. If your Merak Integrated AntiVirus is functional and ready to use, you should obtain and warning message like to one on the picture below, after pressing the button ’Send EICAR Test Message’.

The virus quarantine feature lets you archive all infected messages or files in a certain directory or to a specified email address. If enabled, a directory of all quarantined data will be created or if an email address is specified, all quarantined data will be sent to this address.

Use built-in antivirus engine and make sure that it scans all message MIME parts including the whole message and all boundaries and parts.

Filters feature allows you to define any number of file extensions which should be automatically blocked by your AV. If AV detects any message with such an extension, the message will be processed as if it were infected by a virus.

IceWarp offers you the possibility to use any external AntiVirus command-line scanners. Straight forward configuration dialog with many useful features, like: return value, line parameters or checking for deletion.

Separate FTP sites binding to a particular IP address. You can define a virtual service on different IPs.

All the connections are logged in W3C format which is standardized format so you can use your own or standard powerful parsers, etc. to analyze it easily.

User groups are very powerful and easy to use feature of FTP Server. By using few basic settings you can effectively manage groups of accounts of a specific domain or group of completely nonhomogeneous user accounts. A group is a list of user accounts that can be treated as a single object !

You have five various path variables available. You can use them in home directory, in path permissions settings and make aliases for them. Taking advantage of path variables can simplify the management and system integration of FTP server to you communication solution.

Server synchronization is a comprehensive feature for scheduled automatic file or directory synchronization. It is ideal for automatic file or directory backup and live mirroring. This function only download difference in content of your remote directory to your local folder.

Creating such a group will easily let you link e-mail server and FTP server. Users in this group use their e-mail account username/password combination also for accessing FTP site. If you smartly set options to be the mostly suitable for you, this is a powerful feature to handle and integrate e-mail and FTP accounts. You can also take great advantage of the path variables $$homedir$$ and $$groupname$$.

The FTP access feature lets you block or grant special IP addresses that are or are not eligible to connect to your server. The remote IP address will be banned the access to your server.

Aliases are a very popular, although tricky, way how to organize files and folders of your FTP site. Using aliases in your FTP site is recommended and can be very useful. With right setting of aliases you can achieve better clarity and security of your server.

The server includes a professional, high quality, integrated and secure GroupWare server. Any user of the server can access and maintain their GroupWare records from any place in the world via Internet. They can use the Outlook connector or the webmail GroupWare interface. All calendaring components are data and XML driven and there is an easy API to maintain and access all GroupWare records. All records are stored in a structured database via an ODBC connection so any database server can be used. It is ready right after the installation is finished and the whole GroupWare features can be used immediately.

Global Accounts are those accounts that will be able to be shared within GroupWare Server on one side and GroupWare clients on the other side. GroupWare clients such as Outlook connector or IceWarp WebMail will during synchronization get the list of global shared accounts and will offer groupware users to subscribe to such account and take the advantage and benefit from such scenario

The address book is completely integrated with the webmail's address book and its rich settings will surprise even the most demanding users. Users are pleased with the global address book and also with the groups of email addresses which help to send mailing lists to a large amount of people a great deal.

• Global address book
• Personal address book
• E-mail groups

SyncML protocol standardizes personal organizer data exchange and synchronization between different devices. Devices includes cellular handy phones, handhelds, personal computers, active web sites etc. SyncML is standardized XML-based format and all SyncML compatible devices can understand it.

The GroupWare data migration feature lets you move all GroupWare records to any other DB. It simply reads all tables and records from one ODBC DSN and creates tables and inserts all records to the destination ODBC DSN.

IceWarp's GroupWare Outlook Connector offers unparalleled stability and extremely low maintenance. The Outlook GroupWare Connector is a small plug-in for Microsoft Outlook (versions 2000, XP, 2003) that enables users to synchronize the Calendar (Events/Notes/Tasks), Address Book and Journal entries with the Calendar and Address Book that resides on theGroupWare Server.

Instant Messaging server allows you to provide new, secured instant messaging services to all Merak Email Server Users. All server users can chat, transfer files and join group conferences using our secured SSL protocol. Users can even communicate with any other IM server. The following IM servers are supported: MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL, Merak and other Jabber servers.

This feature allows the instant messaging server can communicate with any other servers on the Internet. It will perform the server to server communication feature. .

This feature can ensure and quarantee that files will not be transferred between users' clients directly, but all files are transferred to the server first and then sent to the end user. This way people can avoid firewall or NAT problems.

Feature allowing auto account registration. If you want to offer a public instant messaging solution users will create and register with the instant messaging clients directly when used this option. Subscription and synchronization iis fully automated.

You can define additional services for instant messaging. As a service you can specify conferences, user databases, transports and other modules. In order to use service such as CQ gateway you only have to specify a standalone domain for the service.

The fearure that specifies the domains of trusted servers to enable the server to server communication..Each server that needs to share the presence, messages and other instant messaging features can be easily enables. You can also easily create a group of trusted servers across different domains and users can chat, send messages to any other instant messaging server that is among the trusted hosts.

With this built-in feature all instant messages sent over the server will be stored in the archive directory. You can view and analyze the directory as needed. This is needed in large organization for security and auditing purposes.

This easy to use, but extremely useful option offers you an IP security system to ensure that particular accounts are only available to access from some particular IP address or IP addresses range.

It is often convenient, or required, to allow users to manage their own accounts, and Domain Administrators usually have the privileges required to create new accounts in their domains. With all this convenience comes the risk that accounts will be created with, or modified to use, insecure passwords. Merak will not allow a new account to be created, or an existing account to be modified, that does not have a password that meets the policy you set.

The types are Standard domain, ETRN-ATRN, Domain alias, Backup domain and Distributed domain. Each is used in different scenario and have predefined properties. Take the advantage with Merak!

Domain specific automatic setting to ease the process of what is done in case an email arrives to an unknown account. One click straight-forward setting offering predefined or advanced actions.

Domain expiration, disk quota limits, user mailboxes limits within domain, maximum message size, this all can be defined and changed without any problems through any administration interface - GUI, WebAdmin, command-line tool, scrpits.

Uniquely with IceWarp domain can be logically bound onto one or more IPs. Speed up the access in case having many domains and each has a unique IP. The IP address and hostname is used for outgoing connection as unique value for each domain. IceWarp will automatically use the first IP Address of the domain for outgoing connections.

For proffesionality and convenicence we offer simple and effective domain customization. With IceWarp you have the possibility to set different header and footer for each domain. The header and footer files are in HTML or TXT file formats. Avanced usage in particular scenarios can be set with conditions all along.
