Forwarding to a different Mail Server
« on: August 26, 2003, 09:30:50 PM »
Hi,
I have not been using SME for long and have a full Server/Gateway setup in the office and at home, but I have now talked a friend in to implementing a similar system and I would like to know if it is possible to forward internet requests for webmail to his current email program rather than using the SME program.

Details are his network runs on 192.168.100.*** IP Range, his email server is at address 192.168.100.2 and he would like SME to be at IP 25.  How do I set up the SME server to forward requests from the internet to IP 2 for webmail requests.
He has a static external IP via BT Broadband.

Here's hoping you can help,

Thanks Les.

one easy soloution would be to make a new ibay with at html (or php) redirect to the other webmail server!

f.eks. sme/ibay would then go to 192.168.100.2

I have my webmail configured like that!!!

go to /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php y servers.php.dist

I enter the domain and IP of my mail server (is on windows 2000, sorry about that)
then I enter in mail options with server-manager, look for delegate server (e-mail retrieval), and enter the IP of the mail server, then in internetprovider's smtp enter the ip of the mail server (other e-mail options). I set up sme mail server as private, and port forward to the other mail server (I did this because my mail server is on the local LAN). And for last, on each user I choose e-mail delivery the option "forward e-mail to address below" and in forwarding address I enter the IP of the mail server.

I did all of this because I wanna use webmail with my mail server (on Windows) and all the services (IMAP, POP3, SMTP), with my local users and foreing users too.

I don't know is this what you want, but could be ok for someone looking for a solution like this!!
