MailBurst is an essential add-on package for MacOS mail servers running EIMS, The Eudora Internet Mail Server or SIMS, The Stalker Internet Mail Server.

MailBurst is easy to use, has stellar performance and great features, providing a simple and powerful way to enhance and manage your mail server.

Use MailBurst to support multiple domains, wild cards, auto replies, and more...

MailBurst is compatible with EIMS 1.2, EIMS 2.x, and EIMS 3.x as well as SIMS. (Also compatible with AIMS 1.x, The Apple Internet Mail Server.)

While you might not need to manage as many as 25,000 accounts, it's nice to know that MailBurst supports as many users as you need. When a new user asked about managing a system with 25,000 users to distribute mail to 2 dozen POP3 servers. We told them "Sure" and even version 1, released in September '96 would be up to the task.

Here are a few MailBurst features

• Support for multiple domains
• A graphical user interface
• Auto reply addresses with support for remote message content updates, customizable From, Reply-To, and Subject headers (with remote enable/disable)
• Wild card forwarding *@domain1.com to *@domain2.com (mail sent to david@domain1.com and ben@domain1.com are forwarded to david@domain2.com and ben@domain2.com respectively)
• A simple text-based config file for users who wish to generate their configurations automatically using databases, scripts, or CGIs
• Facilities to Bounce and Trash incoming mail to certain addresses (e.g., simply trash all mail coming in to unknown addresses... no need to bounce back to SPAMMERs who don't exist, generating even more email.)
• Save messages to disk (lets you archive a copy of every message to an address and at a later time re-send them again -- handy when people need to temporarily re-route mail to a web-based mail account and when they return send again to a normal POP mailbox)
• Built-in testing
• A Drop-box folder to support sending e-mail with CGIs and other software (simple format to generate a single message to many people or totally custome email messages on the fly with NO network overhead to hand off the message to EIMS or SIMS).
• Ability to reject a message if the size is greater than a specific amount (set for each incoming address)
• Easily handles thousands and thousands of addresses and domains (5,000 addresses in a 4Mb partition, 25,000 in 10Mb)
• Lightning performance
• Find and Find Again in dialog list boxes
• Create and handle promotional mail box addresses on the fly
• Wild cards for matching domains
• Global user names (e.g., webmaster across all domains)
• Multiple recipients for any address (up to 255 addresses) and
• Support for group file lists for unlimited numbers of recipients (similar to the MailBurst:drop folder)
• Detailed log files
• Automatic error reports via email
• Industrial strength performance and reliability (version 2.1.2 has been stable since August, 1999. Version 2.1.3 was introduced in May, 2001 to add group files)
