WorldMail includes a list server, which allows
groups of users—such as employees, customers, and discussion groups—to easily
exchange messages. A message sent to a mail list is quickly broadcast to all
of its members, allowing users to distribute mail to multiple users by
sending it to one email address. WorldMail's comprehensive list server
features include multiple moderators, email moderation, email subscription,
message size limitation, digest distributions, configurable welcome and
goodbye messages, web-based message archiving, and powerful header editing
macros. |

You can configure a single WorldMail server to
send and receive mail for multiple domains. This allows your site to host
email for "virtual" domains. Mailbox names need not be unique
across domains, so you can use a particular mailbox name in each domain on
your server. |

You can extend the capability of WorldMail using
agents, which are programs that are executed on individual email messages
that arrive for the server, for a particular mailbox, or for a particular
mail list. For example, you can use an agent to automatically forward
messages to your pager if they contain the word "emergency" in the
subject header. Agents are extremely flexible and allow you to build-in
almost any message-processing functionality. |
