PURPOSE: An IMAS(Intelligent Mail Agent Solution) apparatus and a method for blocking a spam e-mail and transmitting e-mail data to a facsimile/mobile terminal/phone set are provided to transmit/receive SMTP(Simple Message Transfer Protocol)-based UMS data by using a mail and enhance compatibility, efficiency and management by accessing every relevant data in a DB server or a file system. CONSTITUTION: A TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)-ENV(211) provides a network environment for receiving data transmitted from a computer and pages an IMAS SMTP daemon(221) to provide a service upon receiving a connection request. The IMAS SMTP daemon(221) stores mail data in a queue(241) and transfers queue information and mail data information to an IMAS Delivery(245). The IMAS Delivery(245) analyzes and classifies the mail data according to a mail address. If the data is e-mail data and a host of the mail address is the IMAS Delivery itself, the IMAS Delivery(245) transmits the mail data to a Local MTA(261) through a Module(251). If the host of the mail address is not the IMAS Delivery itself, the IMAS Delivery transmits the mail data to the Remote MTA(281) through the Module(251). If the data is one of facsimile data, SMS data and VMS data, the IMAS Delivery transmits the mail data and information to an intelligent UMS unit(291). The Local MTA(261) decodes the data, searches a corresponding word, and determines whether it is a secondary spam mail, and if a file format is the facsimile data, the Local MTS(261) converts the document format of the decoded data through a Converting and Delivery unit(271), and stores it in an auxiliary storing unit. The Remote MTA(281) decodes the data, searches a corresponding word, determines whether it is a secondary spam mail, and transmits the corresponding mail to a host of the mail address. The intelligent UMS unit(291) decodes the data, and if the data is for an SMS, the intelligent UMS unit transmits the data to an SMS service unit(293). If the data is for an VMS, the intelligent UMS unit(291) transmits the data to a VMS service unit(295). If the data is for a facsimile, the intelligent UMS unit(291) transmits the data to a facsimile service unit(297). |
