Title: Accessing ExchangeServers Pop3?
Post by: Michael Roed on July 30, 2003, 05:04:51 PM

Scenario:
SME 5.6 used as firewall and mailscanner (I have not delegated the mailservice on my SME but I use virtueldomains so I can check the mails for virus before going to Exchange!)
W2K SBS with Exchange 2000

I have som users who would like to access their mail acount on the Exchange server with Outlook Express from home (no VPN). But how can I get access to the POP3 service on the Exchange server throu SME 5.6???

Any ideas is greatly appriciated.
Michael.

Forward TCP 110 on the SME server to TCP 110 on the Exchange Server.  You'll have to modify /etc/xinetd.conf to not run pop3. (Not sure if this holds true for 5.6, have not played with 5.6)

No, just disable the "popd" service, and re-expand xinetd.conf and restart xinetd (e.g. by "signal-event remoteaccess-update"). But I suspect that you don't even need to do that - just portforward.

Portforward isn't enough. I can't get through to the Exchange server. What should I do in xinetd.conf (I guess I should edit the template right??!)
