3. Features
The SME Server has many features.
We shall be explaining many of them.

4. Mail Server
A Mail Server refers to the combination of an
SMTP Server, IMAP and POP3 Server.
SMTP, IMAP and POP3 are the names of the
protocols which are used to define how two
applications shall communicate with each other.

5. Mail Server (SMTP)
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) servers
handle the sending of your e‑mail messages to
the Internet.
The SMTP server handles outgoing e‑mail, and is
used in conjunction with a POP3 or IMAP
incoming e‑mail server.

6. SMTP
SMTP is the method used for sending outgoing
mail from your client software (like thunderbird) to
the mail server. Also the mail server uses SMTP
to deliver it to other destination servers.
SMTP is also used to receive mail from other mail
servers who want to send to your domain.
For example atrc.net.pk is a domain.

7. IMAP
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a
protocol which defines how mail is delivered to the
client. It manages the folders on the mail server.
IMAP allows multiple clients (like thunderbird)
simultaneously connected to the same mailbox,
and through flags stored on the server, different
clients accessing the same mailbox at the same
or different times can detect state changes made
by other clients.

8. POP3
The Post Office Protocol (POP) is an application-
layer Internet standard protocol used by local e-
mail clients to retrieve e-mail from a remote server
over a TCP/IP connection. It defines how the
inbox folder is to be accessed by email client
softwares. It is usually used to download emails
from the mail server (inbox folder only) and into
the client software. And delete the downloaded
emails from the server inbox.

9. Web Mail
Web Mail is a software which can access the
mailboxes via IMAP and POP and present them in
a format which is visible in a browser.
Our SME server provides a web mail interface so
a user does not need a client software on their
computer to see the mail folders. They have both
options. A browser or a mail client.

10. Firewall
A firewall is a system that restricts the incoming
and outgoing network traffic based on sets of
rules. It is useful to prevent unnecessary
communication between computers outside
anywhere on the Internet and those inside the
organization which do not need to be probed for
any services.

11. Firewall
By having a firewall preventing outside computers
from being able to talk to computers inside, the
internal computers are free to exchange
information and services with less restrictions and
having to be configured to check each and every
request. Like working in a private room where
only employees are allowed by security guards.

12. Chat Server
Text chat can be a good way to keep in touch for
immediate communications without having to
send an email or making a call. A private in
company chat server allows all the employees to
communicate with each other and prevents
interruptions from all other social networks during
work time.

13. VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private
network across a public network, such as the
Internet. It enables a computer or network-
enabled device to send and receive data across
shared or public networks as if it were directly
connected to the private network, while benefiting
from the functionality, security and management
policies of the private network.

14. Traffic Management
As more traffic gets to go through the internet, the
size of the network connection becomes a
bottleneck. If bandwidth management is used,
then all applications can be guaranteed to work
because they shall be allocated a certain
bandwidth. Even if the other users are requesting
more than is available.

15. Traffic Management

16. File Server
A file server is a computer attached to a network
that has the primary purpose of providing a
location for shared disk access, i.e. shared
storage of computer files (such as documents,
sound files, photographs, movies, images,
databases, etc.) that can be accessed by the
workstations that are attached to the same
computer network.

17. Print Server
A print server, or printer server, is a computer that
connects printers to client computers over a
network. It accepts print jobs from the computers
and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers,
queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact
that work may arrive more quickly than the printer
can actually handle.

18. Support
The softwares used in the SME server are not
those designed for small loads. They are the
same softwares used to provide services to
millions of users simultaneous in the largest of
services. Usually the softwares have a steep
learning curve. So we have made a simple
system which is supported by us.

19. Worry free support
So this way you can enjoy all the softwares and
services without having to go into the details of all
they are capable of.
When your company requirements grow, rest
assured that we can provide the same softwares
and scale them up to multiple computers.

20. All in one
For simplicity, we have placed all softwares and
services in a single server and provide support for
all of them.
And there is a graphical user interface for those
who are assigned the task of IT administrators but
do not want to be bothered to learn the command
line.
Let our configuration softwares translate your
mouse clicks to the perfect working configuration
files.

21. More services

LDAP)
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Certificate Manager (SSL)
Mail Filter (For spam and viruses)
Antivirus (for mail and files)
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) Server
