Bypassing the SMTP server

You can send e-mail documents directly to their destinations without going through the SMTP server.

Normally, e-mail is sent through the SMTP server. With this feature however, the domain part of the destination's e-mail address is read as the SMTP server's address and transmissions bypass the SMTP server. Since this reduces the load on the server, you can send e-mails without having to take into account the transfer time from server to destination.

Important

There are two ways of specifying a destination, as follows:

By specifying the other party's host name

Specify a destination's e-mail address by adding the other party's host name to the domain part of the e-mail address. Specify the address after the @ as follows: "host name", ". (dot)", and "domain name".

xxxx@host name of the other party.domain name

For example, if the other party's e-mail address is "abc@defcompany.com" and the host name is "HOST":

abc@HOST.defcompany.com

By specifying the other party's IP address

Specify a destination's e-mail address by changing the domain part of the e-mail address to the other party's IP address.

xxxx@[the other party's IP address]

For example, if the other party's e-mail address is "abc@defcompany.com" and the IP address is "192.168.1.10":

abc@[192.168.1.10]
