RE: [IMail Forum] NAT Support for IMAIL

Title: Message

We have a client setup this way. You should not have any problem sending or relaying as long as your DNS is setup correctly. With NAT/port forwarding your mail server will be seen as the public ip address not the private ip from the outside.   Are you going to host your own DNS or is your ISP?   One thing to make sure of on your firewall is that you can connect from the private side to the public side and be able to connect to the server. Other wise I might have your ISP host the DNS.     Rick B   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Wilson Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 11:15 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] NAT Support for IMAIL   Thanks.  Ok, so it should just work ok based on my firewall rules.  My main concern was how IMAIL would recognize the mail as local or remote since it would bound to private IP's rather than the public IP's of the domain... does this cause any problems sending mail... relay errors etc?  Also or would I need to update my host file on the IMAIL with the private IPs for each domain, etc. since the DNS would have the public IPs.   thanks,   e   -----Original Message----- From: Travis Rabe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] NAT Support for IMAIL You need to set up port forwarding.  There would be no such documentation because all firewalls are different.  You need to forward the proper ports to your server depending upon what you are running.  POP3, IMAP, HTTP via 8383, SMTP, SSL and so on.   Travis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Wilson Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 10:43 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [IMail Forum] NAT Support for IMAIL Is anyone here using NAT on the backend where IMAIL is installed?  Our new firewall only supports NAT and I need to reconfigure our network, which means reconfiguring the IMAIL server to use inside IP's.  I haven't seen any documentation on the support site.... so can it be done?  If so where is some good documentation?   thanks, Eric
