Here's how it works. The built-in modem dials up and connects to your local Internet account or through any type of dedicated connectivity already in place.  (Note:  If you do not have an account, Carroll-Net will assist you in setting one up). The Message Server automatically downloads all incoming mail at your domain name and delivers all outgoing mail over the Internet. Incoming mail is separated and delivered to each user at their workstations. Any email program will work, but uniformity is advisable.

The Carroll-Net Message Server comes with a simple to use web- based management system (CNMS). Its simple interface provides direct control over the Message Server. Armed with this tool, you can quickly create, modify and delete e-mail addresses on your Message Server. The explorer style window is intuitive and makes using the CNMS a snap. Its quick response and intelligent feedback frees you from the tedious task of having to manage the details of e-mail.

Virus Scanning Protection
Everyone is looking to protect themselves from dangerous viruses sent through e-mail. Computer viruses can cause serious damage to your network:  files can crash, important data can disappear in a heartbeat, your entire office productivity can be interrupted and bring the operation of your business to a halt. 

Any of these frightening occurrences can bring a network
administrator to his knees.

So what is a computer virus? Basically it is defined as a program that
infects documents or systems by inserting or attaching a copy of itself or by rewriting files entirely. It operates without the knowledge or consent of the user. When an infected file is opened, the embedded virus is executed. A true virus is propagated by users themselves, usually unintentionally. It is passed on to others through infected emails, attachments, programs on disks, or shared files.

Carroll-Net now offers dependable, Virus Protection right through your
Message Server. The Virus Protecting Software is installed on your Message Server during the pre-configuration process. Once installed, your Message Server will then scan all incoming and outgoing messages for viruses. If one is found it will be deleted immediately and the original message will be appended with a message stating a virus was found and deleted. As new viruses are caught, regular virus updates will be sent automatically to your server. The Carroll-Net staff will investigate daily warnings and provide the updates to your server. Working together with Kaspersky Labs, one of the world leaders in anti-virus solutions, Carroll-Net provides cutting edge anti-virus technology to give you the peace of mind you need.
