Wanting to setup your own mail server in your own office but don't know how?

We can customize an installation guide to help your staff and technicians setup and manage your very own mail server.

You don't have to use the backup mail service if you don't have connection issues but it is optional if you want
that piece of mind knowing that when your server is down for any length of time that another server will be
collecting your mail and pass it on when you are back online.

Basic requirements:

* 512k ADSL
* 1GB spare memory
* Windows XP/Vista/7 or Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server
* 2GB spare storage
* Technician / Staff with moderate technical experience.**
* Fixed IP address or DynamicDNS service
* TCP Port 25 must be open for connections and your internet connection must respond to pings.
* Your IP must not be listed in RBL as black listed.

(Ask for us to test your IP to see if it is already black listed.)

** If you are not able to install this softare a remote installation service will be available from Bond I. T.
