Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to network communication field, relate in particular to a kind of support to receive and dispatch a plurality of E-mail addresses mail act on behalf of Mail Gateway, system and method.
Background technology
The Internet e-mail system is that a cover is based upon the domain name of Internet and the message communication system on the addressing mechanism basis.The Internet e-mail system mainly is made up of mail server and two kinds of network nodes of client.Mail server is responsible for user's reception, storage and send Email.Exchange Email through Simple Mail Transfer protocol (SMTP, Simple Mail Transport Protocol) between the mail server.In user's the e-mail storage E-mail address on server, that bind with user account.The user receives/reads E-mail stored content in its mailbox through Mail Clients access mail server, and transmission/reply email.Email client is through POP3 (Post Office Protocol,Version 3; Post Office Protocol Version 3), IMAP (internet message access protocol; Internet Message Access Protocol) and at present use more general Web mail protocol and obtain Mail Contents, and submit to Email content to be used for sending to server through smtp protocol or based on the Web mail protocol of HTTP from server based on HTTP.
Usually, an e-mail address is used for an E-mail address on the unique identification Internet.E-mail address adopts the form of expression of UserIDDomain.Domain is the unique identification of mail server at Internet.UserID is the uniqueness sign of subscriber mailbox on this mail server.Like this, can be through an e-mail address in E-mail address, the unique location of Internet, all destination addresses all can send in the corresponding mailbox in this address for the mail of certain e-mail address among the Internet.Same, an E-mail address and the unique binding of e-mail address, the mail that sends from a mailbox all is marked as the e-mail address of binding from this mailbox and sends.Fig. 1 illustrates the structural representation of the e-mail system of not disposing the addresses of items of mail transfer gateway in the prior art.As shown in Figure 1, the unique correspondence in E-mail address an electronics e-mail address; For example, user frank has the mailbox that addresses of items of mail is frankexample.com at mail server example.com, and the user receives and send the mail of frankexample.com through Mail Clients (like foxmail, Gmail, Hotmail etc.).
Current, some Mail Clients (like foxmail) can receive and send the mail of a plurality of E-mail addresses mail, realizes comparatively single transmission-receiving function.Yet the Mail Clients of the type is because the restriction that self exists can cause the user can't visit the problem of a plurality of mailboxes.Specifically, relate generally to two kinds of situations:

Another kind of situation is that function of client own or mechanism are limited, only supports the POP3 agreement to receive mail like client, can't receive the mail of IMAP or Web mailbox, or is that this client can only be bound with some mailboxes.A most typical example is common enterprise wireless delivery email client.Wireless delivery email cooperates through wireless mail push gateway and the client software that is deployed in portable terminal; Realize in real time or near real-time with the mail transmission of subscriber mailbox to portable terminal, the Mail Contents of simultaneously user being write and sending at portable terminal sends through subscriber mailbox.In view of wireless mail push gateway and mail server close-coupled, therefore, have only the mail server of having disposed wireless mail push gateway could realize delivery email; In addition, the mail server standard of wireless propelling movement gateway support is very limited.This just causes the user and to send the mail on the mail server of having disposed wireless mail push gateway through the wireless terminal reception, can't satisfy the user received and sent more mailbox mails through portable terminal demand.
Under the situation that aforementioned two kinds of restrictions exist, only can't solve technical problem owing to network or the limited existence of client with Mail Clients, can't satisfy the demand of the dissimilar a plurality of E-mail addresses of user's free access.
In addition, even E-mail service operator starts to develop particular email server, rely on this specific e-mail server to realize supporting to replace the user to receive the function of other a plurality of mailbox mails, even support the function that other email address of use is posted a letter.But those skilled in the art can recognize clearly that nonetheless, because its these functions of supporting belong to the part of this specific mail server capability, the concrete design structure of the realization of those functions and this specific mail server is closely related; Therefore, the function of a plurality of mailbox mails of the transmitting-receiving that is realized can not be independent of this specific mail server, also can't realize simultaneously with the compatibility of any mail server with freely dock, scalability is poor, is unfavorable for the expansion and the popularization of this technology; Also be unfavorable for satisfying the demand of user through the dissimilar a plurality of E-mail addresses of any outside mailbox free access.
Based on said reason, how compatible mail server arbitrarily bind local mailbox and any outside mailbox, realizes that the function that receives and send a plurality of mailbox mails becomes the technical problem that this area needs to be resolved hurrily.
