RUTM59 Email Relay

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUTM_R_00.07.11.3.

Summary

Email Relay is an e-mail store-and-forward message transfer agent and proxy server. The service does three things:

• Stores any incoming e-mail messages that it receives
• Forwards e-mail messages on to another remote e-mail server
• Serves up stored e-mail messages to local e-mail reader programs

More technically, it acts as a SMTP storage daemon, a SMTP forwarding agent, and a POP3 server.

This manual page provides an overview of the Email Relay functionality in RUTM59 devices.

Note: Email Relay is additional software that can be installed from the System → Package Manager page.
