Scalable, Fast, Robust Email Servers
M-Switch (SMTP) and M-Box (POP/IMAP) are at the heart of Isode's Internet Messaging solution.
M-Switch is a high throughput and low latency SMTP message switch. Designed to efficienctly handle very large message loads and queues, M-Switch work exceedingly well in demanding operational environments. M-Box is a high performance Internet Message Store, supporting POP and IMAP. M-Box has an optimized database design and multi-threaded architecture, which gives high performance and allows a very large number of users to be supported on a single server. Both are exceptionally robust and stable and include support for fail-over clustering and Off Site Hot Standby (Disaster Recovery).
You can read more about M-Switch here and more about M-Box here. M-Box performance is examined in detail in the whitepaper "Benchmarking M-Box".
LDAP Directory Integration
Both M-Box and M-Switch use an LDAP Directory as their preferred configuration mechanism enabling the sharing of routing, configuration and authentication information between multiple servers as well as straightforward integration with an ISP provisioning system.
Isode's own LDAP Directory Server, M-Vault, is recomended for use with Isode's message servers. M-Vault is a high-performance, high-availability server that can manage millions of entries and process tens of thousands of queries per second. M-Vault supports fail-over clustering and off site hot standby (Disaster Recovery).
You can read more about M-Vault here, M-Vault performance is examined in the whitepaper "Comparative Performance Benchmarking of M-Vault".
Mobile Email Options
Isode is committed to Open Standards and is an active partitipant in IETF working groups. Both M-Switch and M-Box support the IETF's standard for mail on restricted bandwidth, low storage devices such as mobile phones (known by the aronym LEMONADE). M-Box and M-Switch were the first LEMONADE compliant servers to be released.
LEMONADE enables an email service provider to offer clients an effective and innovative solution to mobile email challenges utilising existing handsets. It allows for push email (using IMAP IDLE), forwarding email without downloading and a number of standards extensions that optimise bandwidth usage, responsiveness and, by extension, improve the user experience.
You can find out more about LEMONADE by reading the Isode whitepapers "LEMONADE Profile: The Key Standard for Mobile Messaging" and "Open Standards: The Best Approach for Mobile Messaging". The website www.lemonadeformobiles.com gives more details on the profile and the companies supporting it.
Comprehensive Management Tools
A number of flexible management tools are shipped with Isode servers, including support for monitoring and control of operational systems and two key web-based tools; the Message Operator Interface and the Internet Messaging Administrator.

The Message Operator Interface allows in-depth examination of and control over messaging activity across multiple M-Switch servers including message searching, quarantine management and statistical reporting.
The Internet Messaging Administrator for M-Box gives the operator access to a Directory configuration browser, message store configuration manager, shared folder manager, and user manager.
You can read more about Isode tools for messaging operational management here. An in-depth look at the Message Operator Interface can be found here, and for the Internet Messaging Adminstrator, here.
Anti-Spam and Webmail
An anti-spam add-on is available for M-Switch. M-Switch Anti-Spam achieves 97%+ accuracy on 'spam' and 99% accuracy on 'possible spam' together with a message processing rate that exceeds 50 messages per second on a small server platform.
Integrating standard webmail packages as part Isode Internet Messaging Solution is a straightforward task. Isode recommends (and uses internally) the Open Source Squirrelmail package.
