Normally, Microsoft Exchange Server cannot download mail from external POP3 servers and, hence, a POP3 Connector adds such this functionality to it. For daily jobs, a POP3 connector should be integrated with antiSPAM and antiVirus filters in order to fully fulfill the email security needs of any business, whether small, medium or big. The email collector should work in the background: it downloads all messages from multiple accounts and forwards them to your Exchange or any other SM TP server. It also should supports downloading of RSS Feeds and delivers them as email messages to the specified accounts. On the market, there is a big number of such products with a variety of features and at prices starting from zero. However, the problems caused by different servers, by spammers and by the lack of knowledge of the administrators and by the high expectations from any cheap tool, ultimately, transform a simple process of fetching emails into a nightmare.

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Major World Religions
    Many Paths to One Goal? - A Comparative Analysis of The Major World Religions A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE by Ernest Valea The goal of this site is to investigate whether or not there is sufficient evidence to prove that world religions are complementary and equally true, according to the model inspired by an old Indian tale - that of the blind men who tried to describe an elephant. It is said that once upon a time a king gathered a few men who were born blind. They were asked to describe an elephant, but each one was presented with only a certain part of it. To one was presented the head of the elephant, to another the trunk, to another its ears, to another the leg, the body, the tail, tuft of the tail, etc. The one who was presented with the head said: "The elephant is like a pot!" The one who was presented the trunk answered, "The elephant is like a hose". The one who touched only the ears thought that the elephant was a fan, the others said that it was a pillar, a wall, a rope, a brush, etc. Then they quarreled among themselves, each thinking that he was the only one right and the others were wrong. The obvious truth is that the elephant is a unity of many parts, a unity that they could not grasp in their ignorance. According to the pattern suggested by this tale, it is often said that world religions form a unity, and only this unity provides the right perspective on ultimate truth.
