MailBurst is an essential add-on package for MacOS mail servers running EIMS (The Eudora Internet Mail Server), formerlyAIMS (The Apple Internet Mail Server).

Here are some key features of "MailBurst":
Support for multiple domains
A graphical user interface
Auto reply addresses with support for remote message content updates, customizable From, Reply-To, and Subject headers (with remote enable/disable)
Wild card forwarding *@domain1.com to *@domain2.com (mail sent to david@domain1.com and ben@domain1.com are forwarded to david@domain2.com and ben@domain2.com respectively)
A simple text-based config file for users who wish to generate their configurations automatically using databases, scripts, or CGIs
Facilities to Bounce and Trash incoming mail to certain addresses (e.g., simply trash all mail coming in to unknown addresses... no need to bounce back to SPAMMERs who don't exist, generating even more email.)
Save messages to disk (lets you archive a copy of every message to an address and at a later time re-send them again -- handy when people need to temporarily re-route mail to a web-based mail account and when they return send again to a normal POP mailbox)
Built-in testing
A Drop-box folder to support sending e-mail with CGIs and other software (simple format to generate a single message to many people or totally custome email messages on the fly with NO network overhead to hand off the message to EIMS or SIMS).
Ability to reject a message if the size is greater than a specific amount (set for each incoming address)
Easily handles thousands and thousands of addresses and domains (5, addresses in a 4Mb partition, 25, in 10Mb)
Lightning performance
Find and Find Again in dialog list boxes
Create and handle promotional mail box addresses on the fly
Wild cards for matching domains
Global user names (e.g., webmaster across all domains)
Multiple recipients for any address (up to 255 addresses) and
Support for group file lists for unlimited numbers of recipients (similar to the MailBurst:drop folder)
Detailed log files
Automatic error reports via email
Industrial strength performance and reliability.

Limitations:
Handles up to 3 domains, and permits you to create configurations for any number of domains or users.

What's New:
Added support for checking mail in the EIMS folder.
