Microsoft Proxy 1.0 / 2.0

• Install the Winsock Proxy client on the machine where MBServer.exe is running.

Note: On a Small Business Server the setup program does this by default.

To verify if Winsock Proxy client is already installed and working properly you may.

• run the WinSock Proxy diagnostic utility
• On the client computer, from a command prompt, change to the Mspclnt directory
• Type chkwsp32 -f
• telnet to your ISP's POP3 host on port 110
• From a command prompt type telnet xxxx.yourisp.com 110
  (substitute xxxx.yourisp.com  with the name of the POP3 host of your ISP)
• You should get a connect and a line similar to +OK xxxx.yourisp.com ready

If you get the error messages Unable to convert hostname to IP address (no answer from NS) then your name server is not properly configured.
In this case use the IP address of your POP3 server rather than the name (e.g. use 178.10.11.1 rather than pop.mysip.com)

• Additional instructions if you receive messages by SMTP (not needed if you get the messsages by POP3):

Create the following entry in a new Wspcfg.ini file and place it in the same folder where MBServer.exe resides.

Note: You don't need this if you get your messsages by POP3.

[MBServer]
ServerBindTcpPorts=25
Persistent=1
KillOldSession=1

WinGate 2.x

• SMTPBeamer Setup / XWall Setup
In MBAdmin select Edit->Options->IPAddress, set Bind to Port like this:
• Smtp inbound = 25
• Smtp outbound = 25
• Pop inbound = 8110
• 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 SMTPBeamer to 8025.

• WinGate Setup
In WinGate configure the following:
• Enable WinGate’s POP proxy using port 110
• Set the POP3 Non Proxy Requests to Pipe requests to ‘locahost’ port 8110.

Using this configuration, SMTPBeamer will perform all its operations through WinGate. You will not need MailBeamer / SMTPBeamer dial-up 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.

WinProxy (Ositis)

• MailBeamer / SMTPBeamer Setup / XWall Setup
  
  In MBAdmin select Edit->Options->IPAddress, set Bind to Port like this:
  • Smtp inbound = 25
  • Smtp outbound = 25
  • Pop inbound = 8110
  • Pop outbound = 110

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

• WinProxy Setup
  
  In WinProxy configure a mapped port in the form:
  • Name: Incoming post office stuff
  • Proxy Port: 110
  • Destination IP: Enter IP address of the internal server
  • Destination Port: 8110 (for instance)
  • Type: TCP
  • Direction: Incoming

SOCKS server

Most proxy server support a connection via SOCKS. MailBeamer / SMTPBeamer / XWall can act as a SOCKS client for outgoing connections. SOCKS can be enabled in MBAdmin View->Option-SOCKS

Also MailBeamer / SMTPBeamer / XWall can be used with an additional program called SocksCap , which  is currently free of charge and can be downloaded from http://www.socks.nec.com
