PostCast Server

PostCast Server is a straightforward and intuitive program designed to offer an easy method of sending personal and business messages and notifications to different customers, directly from the computer, and it turns the PC into an outgoing mail server.

It's wrapped in a well-organized and clean interface showing on the left side of the panel a toolbar with the most common commands, a basic email layout with outbox, drafts, sent and deleted items, and a new message floating window.

When the app is run for the first time, it provides a setup wizard, and those who are using the program for the first time should use it. It guides you through a few steps, to configure the server.

You have to select the Internet connection type, then enable the access only for the current computer of for the Local Area Network. Next, you have to choose the corresponding Internet and LAN IP address from the drop-down menu, along with SMTP and port number.

Other alternative options can be set through the wizard or later, like minimize the program, run it at Windows startup or allow the program to send messages. Once everything is configured correctly, you can proceed to checking your inbox and deliver notifications.

You can connect your e-mail client to PostCast Server over LAN, Internet or directly from the computer where the utility was installed. It can be configured to send messages for all users within the LAN. If it's necessary, you can limit the access using several security options.

The tool provides a basic editor to personalize the content with, such as various font types and styles, colors, bold, italic, along with paragraph alignment, and bullet lists. It's possible to insert hyperlinks, attach important documentation, as well as spellcheck the text for eventual mistakes, and set a priority level.

In the "Settings" tab you can set advanced options for security, system, connection, and dial-up, like restrict the access to certain IP addresses, choose a number of outgoing connections, and change the hostname. When sending them, a bar is displayed to show the sending progress, along with the number of sent items.
