MDaemon Mail Server

MDaemon's flexibility allows it to work well with WinGate. To configure MDaemon for use on the WinGate Machine follow this simple procedure:

Mdaemon Setup

In MDaemon's SETUP | PRIMARY DOMAIN screen:

1. Select "Spool All Mail To Gateway"

2. Enter "localhost" in the Mail Gateway control

3. Setup the Port values like this:

1. Smtp Inbound = 25

2. Smtp Outbound = 25

3. Pop Inbound = 8110

4. Pop Outbound = 110

Note: This only uses WinGate for POP3. If you wish to have WinGate monitoring the SMTP, add a TCP mapped link on 25 mapping to ‘localhost’ on port 8025, and configure the inbound SMTP in MDaemon to 8025.

WinGate Setup

In WinGate configure the following:

1. Enable WinGate’s POP proxy using port 110

2. Set the POP3 Non Proxy Requests to Pipe requests to ‘locahost’ port 8110.

Using this configuration, MDaemon will perform all it’s operations through WinGate. You will not need MDaemon’s RAS dialup/dialdown capability because WinGate performs these services automatically when required.

To check mail, users on the LAN would check

user@wingate or

user@domain.name if your WinGate has a fixed IP and DNS record.

This takes advantage of the Non proxy request capability of the POP3 proxy.
