Post by: marodrigues on February 21, 2005, 05:05:13 PM

Hi,

Im sorry for my question, but im a newbie with SME, i just want to know if its possible to access our mailboxes, in the ISP Server, through SME, using POP3 and SMTP.
Do i need some kind a socks proxy or SME can do it, delivering the mail to the Outlook accounts in the pc's ?

Thansk in advanced

Do a search for fetchmail.  I think this is what you are looking for.  I have never used it, but remember seeing it being discussed before.

Have a look at this link:

I think you will find everything you need to know there.

I have been reading this thread, becuause I need to set up an email server in a remote location with a slow dynamic-IP connection.

I plan to use Fetchmail for collecting email from my server, but I need a way to deliver the emails from the remote location.

I was planning to use my SME server as a relay server. Is this possible? Is this possible to setup some kind of SMTP Authentication on my SME Server, so the relay server can become a smtp authenticated relay server....

What I think is possible?


PS: I found this line in the 6.5RC1 features list, does it have to do with it?
"" b) Integrate smtp-auth allowing external relay with auth ""
