  Company E-mail Addresses Back Next

Company e-mail systems use the same basic methods as Internet e-mail, with some differences:
 
Typically, they don't require domain names in the e-mail address. You can leave out the @ sign and what follows when sending internal mail.
 
Two Servers
E-mail you send to a co-worker may require either a user name type of address (such as SmithM), or the recipient's full name (such as Mary.Smith).
 
Your company's internal e-mail system might not be connected to the Internet, in which case you are only able to send and receive e-mail within the company.
 
To prevent outside people from accessing internal data, companies use firewalls to separate outside Internet traffic from internal traffic.
 
Many companies have systems that let employees access their e-mail boxes remotely. Access is implemented either with gateways from the Internet, which require passwords, or with a secure call-back system, which requires prior authorization.
