Convert your PC into mail server WHENEVER we send e-mail, the message is routed through ISP’s SMTP server or a similar server of a Website depending upon the kind of e-mail service you use. This means the message first queues up in the server and sent to the recipient only when its turn comes. This may involve some delay and privacy may be compromised. The message can be accessed and seen by anybody having access to the server. Hackers too can find it easily. This fortnight we feature a freeware that converts own PC into a mail server and sends the mail directly from the PC to the recipient’s mailbox without going through the ISP’s SMTP. Before download, be warned that this is a large program (13.8 MB). So those with slow connection should use download manager like GetRight that may aid in downloading by parts over a few days. Despite slight difficulty in downloading, the program is worth its weight in gold. Postcast Server This is a free server
program that enables to send messages directly from the computer. This
program is used for sending newsletters, distributing messages to
different mailing lists, sending notifications to customers, as well as
for sending individual messages. You can use it instead of the SMTP
server of the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Postcast Server supports
all e-mail programs. The program you already use for sending and
receiving messages can be connected to the server in a very easy way -
by altering just one parameter. Having done so, you can send messages in
a usual manner. Once the program has been set, it performs all tasks in
the background. You can set the program to send messages on a daily
basis, every hour, immediately after downloading them, or during some
other time interval. If necessary, the program will automatically call
your ISP and terminate the connection after completing its
task. You can connect to it via LAN, Internet or directly from the
computer where it has been installed. The program can be configured to
send messages for all users within LAN. If necessary, it is possible to
limit access to the program using several security options. It has been
optimised for very fast message delivery and gets the most out of the
Internet connection. While sending messages, the program establishes
dozens of connections at the same time. Thus, it reaches maximum speeds
and on an average delivers about 3,500 messages per hour with an
ordinary modem Internet connection and some 13,000 with an ISDN
connection. The sending speed increases with the capacity of your
Internet connection. You can find this program at www.postcastserver.com
