Secure-SMTP Server

1. Secure-SMTP Server Introduction to the Secure SMTP Server service

2. What is Secure SMTP Server? Secure SMTP server is a secure, reliable SMTP mail relay server for your outgoing mail. Secure SMTP service gives its members more possibilities than a standard SMTP server does.

3. Secure SMTP Features 1Strong security and privacy • Secure SMTP server provides enhanced email security by using TLS/SSL encrypted channels. • We take strong measures to protect all customer data from unauthorized access or disclosure, misuse, loss, alteration or destruction. • Strong authentication protects users from identity fraud.

4. Secure SMTP Features 2Location – independent access to SMTP mail service • In cases where the Internet Service Provider or a network administrator blocks port 25 (the standard email port), the service will work through an alternative SMTP port.

5. Secure SMTP Features 3Ultra-reliable SMTP engine • E-mail delivery is not always successful on a first attempt even if the recipient's address is valid. When an email fails to be delivered it will be re-sent every 2 hours for 3 days until delivered. The message delivery status is available for preview in the Control panel.

6. Secure SMTP Features 4Flexible service plans starting from $US 4.95/month • A subscription contains multiple SMTP accounts, which can be assigned to a group of users. • Service plans include a unique Pay per Mail plan.

8. How does this service work? 3 SMTP-server.com members send emails via any email client. The email client authorizes and establishes an encrypted connection (SSL / TLS) to the Secure SMTP server and securely transmits a mail message on port 25* (default port to send e-mail). 4 SMTP-server.com forwards a message from an email client to the queue and logs it into the journal for the client to be able to view the outgoing history. If the Recipient Server is not available, SMTP-server.com forwards the email message to a holding area and tries to send it every couple of hours for several days. Secure SMTP members can check the current status of each email and the history of connection attempts in the delivery log in Control Panel. 1SMTP-server.com members configure and manage their accounts, billing and service plan information, set security level for outgoing emails, receive delivery confirmation notifications via the Secure SMTP Control Panel. • 2 SMTP-server.com members configure their email clients (MS Outlook, Pocket PC, etc) to use SMTP-Server.com as a default Outgoing Mail Server and set up SMTP account parameters selected on step 1. • These are primary SMTP parameters: • SMTP Server Name: smtp-server.com • SMTP User Name • SMTP Password • TCP Port: 1-5000 except 53,137,139,443,445 • SSL/TLS encrypted or non-encrypted connection 5Mail recipients use their different email clients to contact the Recipient Server (POP3  mail server) and download e-mail messages into the Inbox.Note: In this step SSL/TLS security cannot be guaranteed as it depends exclusively on the Recipient Server (POP3 mail server like @Hotmail.com or @AOL.com) and the Recipient Client (POP3 mail client like Outlook, or Netscape) configuration.
