In previous 'R12 Re-cap' posts we've looked at Sodium, X.400 Quick Configuration and MConsole. In this post we're taking a look at Internet Messaging.
LEMONADE
With R12, Isode's messaging servers became the first to be released supporting the new Open Standard for Mobile Messaging (LEMONADE).
Isode has been an active participant in the IETF's LEMONADE working group to define extensions to IMAP and SMTP for mobile messaging. M-Box (POP/IMAP) and M-Switch (SMTP) are the first messaging servers released to support these new Open Standards. Our Internet Messaging whitepapers give more details on LEMONADE and why we believe that this Open Standard is important for organizations looking to provide email access to mobile staff.
Evaluating Internet Messaging
We previously pointed out the improvements made to the Quick Configuration wizard for X.400 Messaging. With R12, Quick Config has been extended to cover Internet Messaging, allowing evaluators to set up a full Internet Messaging evaluation in a matter of a few minutes.
Quick Config is installed as part of M-Switch and is described in detail in the Internet Messaging Evaluation Guide linked from the documents section of this evaluation page. Quick Config will configure all of the elements of a test system, including M-Vault and M-Box, you should therefore ensure that you have M-Switch, M-Box and M-Vault installed before running Quick Config. If you have already installed versions of Isode products earlier than R12, please remember to read the Release Notes for information on upgrading to R12.
Anti-Spam
As well as functionality for mobile messaging, we've enhanced our anti-spam solution with support for: SPF (Sender Policy Framework); TLS (data confidentiality) for inbound and outbound SMTP; and IMAP quota and ACL capabilities. M-Switch Anti-Spam is available for evaluation here.
