Integrating WinGate with an email server

There are two issues here, SMTP (for sending mail) and POP3 (for retrieving mail).

For SMTP you have two options, you can run the SMTP server on a different port (eg 8025), and have mappings setup from port 25 to the new port. This allows you to track access to your SMTP server with the WinGate logging. Note: incoming mail will count as a user in the license count with this setup.

If you do not need to know data details about mail you are receiving, then simply delete the mapped link on port 25, leave the server on port 25, and WinGate wont deal with SMTP at all.

When sending mail, clients send to the server ‘wingate’.

Setup up the POP3 server on a different port, for instance 8110, and in the POP3 proxy make the following changes with GateKeeper.

1. Select Non-proxy requests.

2. Choose the Pipe option.

3. In the server box, enter your mail server name (eg mail.com-vision.com) or ‘wingate’.

4. Enter the new port number for the POP server.

5. When checking Mail, users on the LAN will check their user name, at the server ‘wingate’. In Eudora this would be user@wingate.
