QUALCOMM Incorporated licensed the EIMS technology in 1997 from Apple
Computer, Inc. EIMS, originally known as the Apple Internet Mail Server
(AIMS), was licensed and distributed freely over the Internet by Apple Inc.
Since acquiring the EIMS software, QUALCOMM Incorporated has demonstrated

updates to the EIMS v1.x and the release of the EIMS v2.0 commercial
product. EIMS v1.x server software will continue to be available from

standards-based supporting POP3, APOP, SMTP, ESMTP, Ph and MIME protocols.
"This Internet standards-based email server for the Mac reflects QUALCOMM's
commitment to letting customers choose the right product from a family of
commercial and freeware products available on a variety of platforms," said
Mark Levitt, research manager for Electronic Messaging at International
Data Corporation (IDC).
Features and new additions provided by EIMS v2.0 include: Multiple Local
Domain Support allows Internet Service Providers to support independent
local domains for multiple customers or company administrators to create
different domains for various departments.

Internet from utilizing the EIMS server as a "relay server" using IP
address blocking and relay restrictions.

administrator can access and make changes to the EIMS 2.0 server from any
Macintosh connected to the Internet or intranet.
