Technical Executive Summary
Titan KayMail Server is composed of 5 modules. In low-volume situations, all 5 modules can exist on the same server. For high-volume environments, each of the 5 modules can be load-balanced against many servers, providing exceptional scalability (PDF).

The inbound mail processor module handles incoming mail from the Internet and performs the bulk of the anti-spam processing. It acts as an email relay that takes over the primary MX of a given domain. Unwanted email is bounced at the MX level and acceptable email is relayed to your existing SMTP servers.

The outbound mail processor module captures recipient information to automatically build a user's pre-approved user database. The Titan Key is inserted in your outgoing email stream so that it can capture recipient email addresses and add them to the user's pre-approved list of senders. It accepts an outgoing relay from SMTP server, captures the data, then relays all outgoing email through another existing SMTP server.

The dashboard module is a Web-based application used by users and administrators alike to control the application. The dashboard may be installed on its own Web server or may be installed on The Titan Key for lower-demand situations.

The Web challenge/response application is used to allow new senders to validate themselves as human. Like any of the other modules it can either co-installed with another module, installed as the sole application on a server, or installed across load-balanced array of servers.

The database: All Titan Key information is stored in a Postgresql 7.4 Database Server. This database is accessed by the mail processor, dashboard, and Web challenge/response applications. The database may be on a standalone server for maximum performance and security or it may be co-installed on The Titan Key.
