The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1
This article was previously published under Q101483

SUMMARY

Versions 3.0 and 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks do not encrypt the contents of the server data file or local user data.

Encryption schemes are used when mail data is being transferred from the user workstation to the server or between servers.

Because of this, Microsoft recommends placing the mail server in a physically secure location such as a computer room. Sensitive data should not be placed on local user machines unless that machine is also physically secure or there is additional software security available.
