Title: Allowing External Access to WEBMAIL, but not to Web Server
Post by: Colin Craig on December 23, 2003, 03:18:37 AM

Hi

Im looking to configure my server so that the webserver is purely an Intranet, but users will be able to access/pickup email via webmail from anywhere

is this possible?


thanks

Hi Colin,

Do a search on this forum first, I think you'll be able to get the answer you were looking for. I suspect you should look for blocking port 80 in the firewall. Webmail uses https which uses a different port number (465?)

I also had trouble a while back withactually opening port 80 so you might want to search that post and see if you can figure out the reverse ;-)

Hope this works for you.

regards,

Jan

Should have thought of this  - especially as i am using an external firewall box, and forwarding port 80 to the SME Server!


thanks
