Gattaca Server

Gattaca Server makes it possible for you to configure and manage a private mail server, providing full compatibility with popular protocols, such as SMTP or POP3. The server is accessible on the local network and on the Internet, also allowing remote connections to the management console.

The configuration starts by setting up the connection details, namely the server address (with domain references if required) and the login credentials of a user with administrative privileges.

Once logged in, the server's service is started and you can use the integrated management console to keep track of users, groups, running services, mail lists, active or past connections, and domains.

You can configure black and white lists, browse firewall bypassing options (you need to make sure incoming connections to port 25 are allowed to receive incoming emails), keep an eye on the server's performance, and view connection logs.

The Management Console of Gattaca Server bundles integrated wizards for creating new mailboxes and mail lists, making it easy for you to configure the server. Thus, generating a new mailbox becomes just a matter of pressing a few 'Next' buttons.

Gattaca Server features mailbox aliases and POP3 retrieval capabilities. It can handle subscriptions, remembering email addresses of persons to whom you must periodically send newsletters or messages.

You can use various secure authentication methods, since the mail server supports SSL, APOP, CRAM-MD5, CRAM-SHA1, and NTLM. For security reasons, the server also deploys SpamAssassin and ClamAV Antivirus (optionally installed) to prevent spam and virus infections.

The server is capable of detecting password breaking attempts, automatically blocking IP addresses in case of consecutive failed logins or inadmisible commands, also limiting the number of parallel connections from the same IP.

Gattaca Server allows concurrent connections from any mail client, including popular ones. It is easy to configure and bundles basic security options to prevent data stealing and privacy breaches.

The generous feature set it comes with and the user-friendly management console makes it a good choice if you are looking for a simple and cost-free mail server.
