Events

The Event system in SmarterMail is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool that allows users to automatically perform actions based on specific criteria and remain up-to-date with what is going on with the SmarterMail server. SmarterMail can detect events as they occur, generate messages for those events, and deliver the messages to users that need the information. For example, users can automatically add an additional recipient on messages they send or receive notifications when a task is due or their user disk space has met a certain threshold.
