SMTP Reception Characteristics
• Expanded RX mail delivery . The Off Ramp Gateway feature allows expansion
for RX mail delivery to a G3 fax. The machine transfers incoming mail is sent to
the G3 fax specified by the local part. For example, in a destination address
specified as:
fax=0454778907@cl01.dom1.ricoh.co.jp
the “local part” is 0454778907 .
•
A POP3/IMAP4 server is not required . For example, in an environment where
there is only a UNIX server or in an intranet environment where Notes is used for
mail, mail received from outside is handled via the SMTP gateway.
•
Immediacy of response is slightly better . There is no interval in the acquisition
of mail as with POP3/IMAP4, thus slightly improving the response time.
•
Easier error handling . When an error occurs with POP3/IMAP4, the receiving
terminal sends an error mail back to the sender in order to inform them that an
error has occurred. With SMTP mail reception, however, in almost all cases the
SMTP server sends the error mail to the sender.
