Iran makes internal email servers

Head of Iran's Cyber Defense Headquarters Saeed Rahimi announced that the country has built the necessary technical infrastructures for the Iranian people to use local email services.

According to Fars News Agency, Iran's cyber defense headquarters succeeded in making internal mail servers which would enable Iranian organizations and bodies to use local email addresses.

"One of the most important problems in the cyber arena in Iran is that many individuals and even university professors are using email services like Gmail and Yahoo and have no local email," Rahimi said.

"Technical infrastructures have been built in the country and mail servers have been made at the cyber defense headquarters to manage Iranian emails," he added.

The Iranian official noted that the body also shoulders the responsibility to promote culture and education.
