We are a small organization namely XYZ private limited. We have installed local area network at our office. Email is our main communication tool. We have a following query: 1. Can Emails be delivered on the desk of the user without internet? 2. Which product is the cheaper and yet efficient?
The following are the answers of your query: 1.Yes with the help of email server emails of all users can be delivered at their desks without using internet. Thus you will be saving cost if bandwidth. 2. There are many email servers available in the market. But for Small and Medium Enterprises like you, the most cost-effective and efficient product is BLACKBox 1Xm, of the range of X series products.
Yes, you can deliver e-mail to anyone within your organization/network without having any kind of outbound port 80 access. It would all be intranet related (internal to your network). Do a Google search for cheap SMTP software and you'll turn up some good software available. Otherwise, if you don't have the experience with setting up and managing it, you could contract someone to do that but it would be paid of course. There is always the possibility of outsourcing your e-mail too, to a particular web host for e-mail.
1. Yes, you can! 2. If budget come first to your mind, you might want to try open source products such as Postfix, Exim or QMail which are FREE. Do google how to configure it properly or find someone to do the initial setup for you.
