Email (SMTP) Interface — Email API
Unlock the ability to receive email into PageGate and redistribute to wireless devices
The PageGate Email API unlocks the ability to receive email into PageGate. The PageGate Email Interface includes a fully functional mail server and may be used by itself or in conjunction with other mail servers.
With the Email API, clients can receive SMTP/Email messages in and redistribute the messages out to the different devices, or groups of mobile phones and wireless devices using a different format or protocol.
The Email Interface can receive email (SMTP) messages using sub-domain hosting or a POP mailbox.
The Email API can also be used for integrating PageGate into existing applications. With the ubiquity of email, more and more modern applications have the ability to send email. If an existing application has the capacity to send email, it can easily be integrated into PageGate. The Email API is most frequently used for integration with applications running on different platforms (Unix, Mac, etc...).
