Answer
Email-to-Case using the installed Email-to-Case Agent software behind the corporate firewall
Standard Email-to-Case requires installing an Email-to-Case Agent behind the company's network firewall. This architecture keeps email processing within the corporate network and allows the system to accept attachments larger than the 25 MB limit imposed by On-Demand Email-to-Case.
