the standard edition
The Standard Edition of Endymion MailMan
is aimed at installations where a simple and hassle-free web
mail solution is the highest priority. As the diagram illustrates,
the Standard Edition views mailboxes directly from the POP3
server without using any sort of mail store on the web server.
Since it does not store any information on the HTTP server
that it lives on, the Standard Edition is extremely easy to
install and requires no attention once it is working.
The Standard Edition of MailMan is perfect
for Internet service providers that would like to offer a
simple web-based email interface for their existing users,
companies that want to provide a simple web-based email gateway
to the outside world for employees, and many other situations
where a simple no-frills web-mail system is the goal. MailMan
allows you to deal with setup and licensing issues only a
single time, then you can forget that it is even installed
until you need it.
The Standard Edition and the Professional
Edition both share the same robust and time-tested interface
and message rendering code that allows users to send and
receive attachments, it allows you to fully customize the
interface to merge with your existing web site, and allows
you to customize the POP3 and SMTP server names so that
your users don't have to understand those details.
If you would like to see the Standard Edition
running on your own server, a fully-functional 30-day evaluation
distribution is available online on our download
page.
