TCP Ports / Connections Tab

 

 

Purpose

This tab sets up the basic TCP/IP parameters for i-Mail to talk to other mail systems. It also enables/disables various server components of i-Mail.

Server Components

Allow POP clients

Check this option to allow POP clients to collect mail from the i-Mail server. POP clients may be Netscape, inbox and other popular mail client packages.

This option should be disabled if i-Mail is being used as a router and/or is not the primary mail server on the server on which it is running.

Allow SMTP clients

Check this option to allow mail clients to send mail to the i-Mail server. This includes both mail users and foreign e-mail systems which use i-Mail as a forwarding router.

Enable POP collect

Check this option to enable i-Mail to collect mail from the internet.

Enable Local SMTP

Check this option to enable the remote host connector. This option should be switched off if you are not using i-Mail to forward messages to another e-mail system which is locally or permanently connected.

Enable External SMTP

Check this option to enable i-Mail to send mail to the internet. This option should be turned off if i-Mail is being used to process inbound internet mail for a different mail system that sends mail to the internet itself.

 

TCP Ports

Auto detect IP address / Bind to ip address

Select Bind to address either if you already have an e-mail server running the POP3 protocol on this server and/or you specifically want clients to connect using a specific network address on your network.

Default: 110

Specify the TCP port which mail is collected from the internet on.

Clients get POP mail on port ‘x’

Default: 110

Specify the TCP port which clients collected mail on.

Send SMTP mail on port ‘x’

Default: 25

Specify the TCP port which mail is sent to the internet on.

Clients send SMTP mail on port ‘x’

Default: 25

Specify the TCP port which clients send mail on.

 

Connections

Maximum Domain POP collectors

Default: 10

Maximum SMTP client connections

Default: 100

Default: 10

Specify the maximum time i-Mail will allow a POP collector to have an absence of data before assuming the link has died, and terminating it.
