Xwall SMTP Relay control
1. Restrict relay by IP address: It allows you to
open the relay for direct send mail programs inside your firewall
like Newsletter mailers,
List servers, automated processes like backup status notifications,
none conforming system like a Linux box not going through
exchange. And you can allows outside relay access for your
satellite offices with static IP's
2. Restricting relays by host name.: This option can
be used for satellite offices resolving to the same host name.
3. Restricting relay access with username and password:
This option maybe a good choice for smaller companies with
a few outside sales persons. It's quick and easy to setup.
The drawback, you only have one username and password. So
you may need to change the setting if a sales person leaves.
4. Restricting relay to authenticated domain users:
Xwall can authenticate users on your MS domain via NTLM. Make
sure the Xwall service is set to login as a domain users if
you choose this option.
Mail Forwarding
Xwall can forward mail to addresses outside your exchange
or domain. AOL does have benefits. They have local dialups
everywhere. Outside salesman may prefer AOL for that reason.
Xwall can forward their email to the AOL account. That allows
the salesman to have a regular company address and still get
his email. It also should be considered for small satellite
offices.
Translate Address
A very handy feature translate sales@yourdomain.com to jdoe@yourdomain.com
or even jdoe@yourotherdomain.com. It makes thing easy once
John Doe leaves the company.
Virus scan interface
Xwall can interface with most command line virus scanners.
Since Xwall does all the work extracting the messages and
attachments you  can
use a simple virus scanner rather than an expensive Exchange
server version.
We, Ceratec use F-prot DOS (or command line) for Xwall,
Popbeamer and SMTPbeamer . It's cost effective and functions
well.  The
F-prot DOS scanner work well with Xwall and all windows platforms
(workstations and servers) You can find more information about
F-prot virus scanners at the
F-prot Web site
None command line scanner may be used but with less
control. Generally any active scanner should be excluded from
the Xwall folder and if possible the Temp folder Xwall uses.
We have many installation using Norton enterprise without
problems.

the messages. So ESAT has access to a lot more information
that other Analyzers and it shows.  The
ESAT package displays who gets what, what is Spam - what's
not, which department or user gets how much mail or Spam by
the hour, day week. Who send you the most Spam, Who sends
mail to former employees. The list goes on. ESAT can show
relations within the email flow and more. Simplified online
demo charts are available. But better yet upload your stats
files and do your own analysis online and instantly. Please
