DESCRIPTION
====================================

PostCast Server is a free server program that enables
you to send messages directly from your computer. This
program is used for sending newsletters, distributing
messages to different mailing lists, sending
notifications to your customers, as well as for sending
individual messages. You can use it instead of the SMTP
server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

PostCast Server supports all e-mail programs. The
program you already use for sending and receiving
messages can be connected to the server in a very easy
way - by altering just one parameter. Having done so,
you can send messages in a usual manner. Once the
program has been set, it performs all its tasks in the
background. You can set the program to send messages on
a daily basis, every hour, immediately after
downloading them, or in some other time interval. If
necessary, the program will automatically call your ISP
and terminate the connection after completing its task.

You can connect to it via LAN, Internet or directly
from the computer where it has been installed. The
program can be configured to send messages for all
users within LAN. If necessary, it is possible to limit
access to the program using several security options.

It has been optimized for very fast message delivery
and gets the most out of your Internet connection.
While sending messages, the program establishes dozens
of connections at the same time. Thus, it reaches
maximum speeds and on average delivers about 3,500
messages per hour with an ordinary modem Internet
connection and some 13,000 with an ISDN connection. The
sending speed increases with the capacity of your
Internet connection.
