There is
no other way to do this in IMAIL. On our CheckPointNG firewall we do port
translation. We have some external port number like 2525 that we set up to
translate to port 25 internally to our IMAIL server. This way, if one of our
partners wants to send email from there IMAIL account and not their ISP, they
just change the SMTP port number and SMTP server to our server name in their
email application to what ever port number we use externally on our firewall. It
has worked flawlessly for us. So many ISP's now block port 25, unless it
is bound for their SMTP servers...

Ipswitch still there?
Is it in any case possible to have a
certain domain ( so not the entire server ) running on a different port (not 25
)
we really need this in our organisation.
One external workaround we were
considering if it turns out this is absolutely impossible , is to do the
portforwarding on the firewall level, which is before the imail server.
But to be honest, this is an issue that
imail should be able to handle itself.
please let me know if anyone knows a way
to do this with imail

Which is very annoying for the good guys,
but a sure way to stop home-users from spamming (knowingly or unknowingly).
Still, I like that direct access. With FoxMail, I can express-mail someone, and
I do not have to rely on my ISPs mailserver that behaves weird at times. Or
maybe I should just get another ISP

As time goes by, more and more service providers are closing
down access to external servers via port 25. See if you can get one of these
problematic customers to try to connect to someone else's mail server via a
telnet session. If they cannot connect to anyone but their ISP's then there is
the issue and has nothing to do with IMail.

I sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
asking about upgrade info and pricing, and didn't get an answer.
I sent a second email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
10 days later, and got a response, asking me what my question was (despite the
fact the tracking number was in the email).
I responded to that email and have yet to hear back from
anyone.
What a scarey thing to me, not only have my experiences with
tech support been aweful, but the sales department is even worse? It just
amazes me. If not for the lists and the people that contribute to them,
Imail would be a totally unsupported product. And yet it works
pretty well.
All of this because there seems to be an increase of
customers that can't seem to connect to the mail server to send mail, they are
getting network errors, that the mail server is not responding or has timed
out, etc. My thought was that upgrading might help if the upgrade is
faster...Is it?
The CPU load on the server is really low (3 to 5%) and it
only seems to affect sending email, the POP3 is running fine. The only
clue I have is the incredible amount of spam we are catching daily (3 to 6,000)
that is keeping the smtp service busy (receiving the spam). There are
about 500 email boxes with 20 virtual domains. We use Declude for AV and
spam.
There is nothing in the log files to indicate any
issues. There seems to be a few MX connect failures.
