MaX Compression Description

Many mail messages have large files attached to them. These may be documents, pictures or executable files. The solution up to now has been for the mail sender to manually use a standard compression utility (such as WinZIP) to generate a compressed version of a file and then attach it to the message. The recipient would then need to manually decompress the attached file before it can be used. C2C MaX Compression does these actions automatically for all files attached to mail messages. When MaX Compression is in use, the file is compressed and turned into a ZIP file before being attached to the mail item. If the recipient is running MaX Compression, they will see the file marked as (Compressed) (if the Outlook version is prior to Outlook 2003) and when they double-click on it, it will be decompressed automatically before being shown to the user. Alternatively, they can enable the option to automatically decompress received attachments - then by the time they see the attachment in the mail item, it will already have been decompressed and they will be unaware that it was ever compressed. If the recipient is not running MaX Compression, then they will see the received file as a ZIP file (eg MYFILE.ZIP), which can be expanded by using a utility such as WinZIP. The user (or administrator) should choose whether, by default, attachments should be compressed to a ZIP file depending on whether typical recipients are likely to have either MaX Compression or software such as WinZIP installed. The choice of whether to enable compression can be made on a file-by-file basis. Alternatively, the administrator can set up rules to specify which compression mode to use based on the recipients it is going to - for instance, do not compress attachments being sent to a FAX gateway. An attached file will not be compressed if it has one of a configurable list of file extensions (eg ZIP) which implies that it is already compressed. The file will also not be compressed if the user opted not to compress the file when it was attached. The software is client based so that the mail is compressed for the whole journey from the sender's PC to the recipient's PC. The administrator can set up a configuration file on the Exchange server which contains the default MaX Compression settings which all mail clients should use. In the case of remote users who can't access the Exchange server, the administrator can generate a configuration file that can be mailed to them to set their defaults.
