NTMAIL Registration
We hope you have had chance to try the mail software and found
that it works without any problems. If you do have any comments
about the documentation or the programs, please let us know as
soon as possible. By sending your comments you will be helping us to
improve the product and tailor it towards your needs.
The shared key does NOT prevent you accessing any features of the
mail software except for the number of users of the system. When any
key expires, all inbound mail will continue to be accepted and placed
in the relevant mail boxes, only local mail will be refused.
How to register
First of all, work out the number of MAILDROPS that you need. A mail
drop is any destination for mail - POP accounts, Mail List Servers and
Mail List Managers are all mail drops. You will need to know whether you
want the list server option included. Next decide whether you would
like to pay by US dollars or UK Sterling. The prices below are weighted
towards sterling since we have to pay the banks for conversion.
These prices are suggestions which have come from discussing the
price we should ask with the first 100 or so people who expressed an
interest in the software. We are prepared to negotiate if you
can provide us with a good reason as to why you should pay a different
amount (this negotiation will be very short if you wish to pay us more).
Once a sum has been agreed, we can release a temporary key
to you as long as (i) we have e-mail confirmation that the money
has/is being sent; and (ii) you have sent the name of your machine
as returned by the command "smtp -d".
This key will last just over a month to allow for
postage and cheque clearance etc. By that time, we should have the
cheque and the unlimited key will be emailed to you. You should
then confirm receipt of the key so we can be sure you got it.
The prices are:
+-----------------------+-------------------------+
| Mail Server | List Server |
+---------+-----------------------+-------------------------+
| Users | USD Sterling | USD Sterling |
+---------+-----------------------+-------------------------+
| 2 | 60 40 | - - |
| 10 | 200 100 | +100 +50 |
| 50 | 350 200 | +175 +100 |
| 50+ | 500 300 | +250 +150 |
+---------+-----------------------+-------------------------+
So for a for five POP users and two mail lists, you would need
5 (people) + 2 (mail lists) + 1 (mail list manager) = 9 mail drops,
and therefore would need the 10 user license. this is 200+100 = 300
USD or 100+50 = 150 Sterling.
Payment may be in the form of sterling or US dollar cheques and can
also be arranged by Credit Card as well. (We have a special arrangement
with Creative Technology who are providing a Credit Card service for us). We
can accept Credit Card orders via telephone or FAX. Please fill in the
application form first and say in notes section which you would prefer.
Once you have all your information, please use our
Application Form since this will speed up our response to your
request.
Tax
If you are in the EEC, you will need to pay an additional 17.5% VAT.
You will receive an invoice with this amount included.
Upgrade Costs
If you are paying in Sterling, the upgrade cost is simply the difference.
For transactions in USD there is an extra $30 charge over the difference
to cover bank charges.
What you get in return
- A key which will stop the "Evaluation version" message being
displayed in all your mail messages - this key will work in all
future releases of the mail
servers so you only need to obtain a new version of code from any
source. Note that this key will not automatically give you the right
to major additions (e.g. list server) although we will be happy to
give you a temporary key to try out the new facilities.
- Notice of all future upgrades. You will become a member of
a special mail list so you get to know when and where new releases are
and new facilities are added.
- A year's support. The support covers any problems you may
have over the following year - email us at the email address you
will be given to receive priority response. We aim to reply
within 24-hours of receipt of your request.
- Priority in addition of features. If you would like to see
something specific added to help out with your particular
set up, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
We already have a list of features requested
and are working our way though them.
- If you ordered a 50+ user version, you will be able to
use the NT User Database instead of the database in the
registry. This means all users with Logon Privilidge will be
able to have their own mail account automatically created as soon
as mail arrives for them.
