Each customer of SmarterMail™ Business Class E-mail Services by ViUX™, receives their own Windows™ 2003 Virtuozzo™ VPS (Virtual Private Server), upon which SmarterMail™ 5.x is installed and configured as the Primary E-mail Server for the customer's domain(s). Depending on the specific needs of each customer, options are available to have multiple VPS containers created to act as Backup(s) to the Primary Server.
Because ViUX™ maintains a completely virtualized hosting infrastructure, with multiple geographically dispersed datacenters, we are able to host your Backup E-mail Server(s) on different networks, in different datacenters, from the Primary Server... for a high-availability deployment.

Collaboration for the Office and the Enterprise
SmarterMail™ provides the robust collaboration features that most people associate only with more expensive mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange™. SmarterMail™ provides each user with the ability to share: Contacts, E-mail Folders, Calendars, Tasks, and Notes... between co-workers and across enterprise organizations. Global Address List (GAL) functionality allows SmarterMail™ Enterprise edition users to accurately coordinate across large project teams.
Powerful Web Interface – Collaborate Anywhere
SmarterMail™ delivers all of the coordination and communication functionality that you expect from your office desktop — to any pc with an internet connection — anywhere in the world, through a familiar and intuitive Web interface. Users have access to Shared Calendars and the availability of their co-workers to schedule appointments. Tasks can be assigned and e-mails managed 24/7 with accuracy, speed, and security — from point to point.
Improved Synchronization
SmarterMail™ Sync — available for the Enterprise edition at no additional charge — provides users with the ability to fully utilize Microsoft Outlook™ beyond the capabilities of most mail servers. SmarterMail™ Enterprise edition users also receive the ability to synchronize with Pocket PC's and Smartphone devices (such as the Motorola Q™, Palm Treo™, and Samsung BlackJack™).

Event-driven Notifications and Actions
SmarterMail™ is one of the first Mail Servers designed to be Event-driven. There are now a virtually infinite number of Event/Action combinations that can be created and used to provide notifications and — more importantly — cause specific pre-defined actions to be implemented. There is almost no end to the number of ways that Events can be used.
SmarterMail™ Brings the Message to You
Individual users can be informed via SMS text message or e-mail to any address when a specific e-mail arrives in their mailbox, an appointment reminder has occurred, their mailbox is getting full, and much more — all combined into dozens of possible combinations.
Experience the Future of Mail Server Administration
Administrators have all of the Event capability of the user-level and gain system warnings, server notices, intrusion detection, and a host of other possibilities. Further, in addition to notifications, administrators have the ability to perform actions upon those Events.
- Did a domain reach a Throttling threshold?
- Did the mail server detect an intrusion?
- Did a user exceed a pre-set mail size limit?
- Did the administrator stop SMTP?
Take Action, Now!
Events and Notifications are one thing... taking action is another. SmarterMail can be configured to perform automated tasks based upon the parameters that you set for your domain or system.
- Size Limits can be enforced
- Intruders can be blocked
- Warnings can be sent
- Command-line executables can be launched
- And much more…
There is no limit to the types of Events, Notifications, and Actions you can preset and use to maximize the effectiveness of your systems and administrative team.

Effective, Accurate, and Timely
SmarterMail™ introduces the new STReportingFramework, which uses real-time mail server statistics, historical summary reporting, and detailed trend analysis to create one of the most flexible and robust reporting capabilities on the market.
Standard and Custom Reports
SmarterMail™ comes pre-loaded with literally dozens of available standard reports for System and Domain Administrators to help them monitor their systems. Administrators and users can create custom reports that deliver the information important to them and they can save those reports for future use as Report Favorites.
Scheduled Email Reports
In the Enterprise edition of SmarterMail™, standard and custom reports can automatically be sent to multiple recipients via e-mail on a fixed schedule. Users and administrators can determine which reports, when, and how often they should be run, and who should receive them.
Drilling Down
The STReportingFramework provides the ability to drill down into new data levels for every Domain or User on the systems — allowing System and Domain Administrators to detect sites or individual accounts that have become abusive or gone inactive. Administrators can run System Summary reports to identify trends, manage costs, and effectively allocate resources, down to the individual user level.
Real-Time Dashboards
SmarterMail™ includes detailed, real-time, performance dashboards that supply system administrators with important, on-demand statistics about their system and the associated traffic. System administrators can view live statistics regarding:
- Service Started
- Service Uptime
- Memory
- SMTP Connections
- POP Connections
- IMAP Connections
- Delivery Threads
- etc...

Easy, Efficient, and Reliable System Management
SmarterMail™ features Web-based administration that allows administrators to manage all aspects of the mail server from one convenient interface — whether they are system or domain changes. SmarterMail™ now includes mass propagation capabilities at both domain and user-level, making business policy changes simple and fast.
Automation with Web Services
SmarterMail™ was built from the ground up for ease of administration and automation in businesses and hosting environments. Automation with web services allows organizations to create efficiencies and reduce costs by providing developers and/or System Administrators access to “code” the SmarterMail™ interface to perform automated actions, such as:
- Adding domains
- Determining domain-specific bandwidth usage for billing
- Setting details on a specific domain or server
- Setting up mailboxes
- Updating domain information
- Testing services added to the Web interface
- And much more...
Literally hundreds of functions are made available for automating virtually all actions on the mail server — allowing larger companies and hosting environments to efficiently manage tens of thousands of e-mail users per server.
Throttling
Throttling allows System Administrators to limit the number of messages, amount of bandwidth, and/or the number of bounced messages that will be allowed to/from a domain, user, or mailing list in a given amount of time. This is a vital new tool to prevent the abuse of your e-mail system. Actions can be automated based upon the throttling parameters to prevent abuse in real-time.
Spool Management - Priority
System Administrators now have the ability to manage e-mail delivery more effectively than ever before, by setting Priorities. Now, mailing lists and other process intensive e-mail can be assigned a lower priority — allowing regular e-mail to avoid unnecessary delays. Notifications can be given higher priority to make sure that important information is delivered in a timely fashion.
Archiving by Domain (Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance)
SmarterMail™ has the ability for system-wide e-mail archiving. System Administrators can designate an archive folder which will contain copies of every inbound and outbound email sent each day. At the end of each day SmarterMail™ will take that folder and compress it for archival storage. This is a great feature for companies which need to keep records of inbound and outbound communication for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory agencies.
Log Files – View and Download with Ease
SmarterMail™ makes reviewing log files quick and efficient by eliminating the need for multiple tools or applications to view the system log files. System Administrators have the ability to respond to users more quickly by being able to view logs from anywhere in the world using the SmarterMail™ Web interface. This unique feature, unmatched by other mail servers on the market, allows organizations to save valuable time, money, and resources. System Administrators also have the ability to save and keep records by downloading log files as a (.zip) file directly from SmarterMail™.
