How to tell if you have complex routing requirements
Sendmail helps its customers turn their SMTP backbones into a message processing infrastructure for competitive advantage. The major difference between Sendmail's solution and competitive solutions lies in the routing. While any messaging appliance can provide simple email routing, Sendmail can manage highly complex routing requirements that other vendors cannot. How do you know if you have complex routing requirements? Here are just a few examples to give you an idea.
If you:
-
Have more than one kind of mail system in use in the company. For example, both Exchange and Notes are used for email.
-
Frequently acquire companies, resulting in multiple directories and mailstores.
-
Have external business partners with whom you must communicate securely.
-
Have different business operations that are governed by different regulatory bodies. For example, bank holding companies with brokerage operations.
-
Segment mail systems according to security classification.
-
Have multiple vanity domains.
-
Are a telecommunications provider to small and medium sized businesses as an outsourcer.
-
Communicate with retail customers via email on a regular basis. For example, statement delivery, trade confirmations, order confirmations, etc.
-
Mix email with SMS and MMS messaging (cell phone traffic).
-
Have businesses in different geographies whose email may not be mixed or tightly controlled. For example, business operations in T-8 countries, multinational Swiss banks.
-
Do electronic data interchange (EDI) via email.
-
Use satellite links for messaging. For example, ships at sea, oil platforms, spacecraft.
-
Must guarantee delivery of mission-critical electronic messages based upon any policy.
