SMTP tab
Use this tab to configure the SMTP protocol for incoming and outgoing Internet email.
SMTP port
The TCP port from which the SMTP module will receive its mail.
Normally, you will accept the default 25. Do not change this port number unless advised to by your SMTP administrator.
TLS (SSL)
Enable SSL connections for the SMTP protocol and the certificate name. If you choose Enabled, both secure and nonsecure logins are allowed. If you choose Required, only secure logins are allowed.
For information on creating security certificates, see Creating Internet security certificates in the Internet Services Administrator's Guide in online help.
Treat as bulk over
The minimum size of mail messages to be treated as bulk mail.
If set to a non-zero value, non-urgent messages greater than this size will be placed in the bulk mail delivery queue. This queue is emptied after the urgent and normal queues, if there are more messages to be sent than the number specified in the "Max outgoing mail" field on the Basic Internet Setup - Mail tab. Decreasing this number means messages assigned Bulk priority are more likely to wait until off-peak hours before being sent, and other messages will be sent more regularly.
Delivery attempts
Set the time to wait between each retry of a failed trasmission and the maximum number of times to retry a failed transmission.
Some large sites (for example, aol.com) require many retries at peak periods.
Timeouts
Set the:
• time to wait for a command or a response to a command from an SMTP server before disconnecting
• time to wait for an initial response after attempting a connection to an SMTP server before disconnecting
• time to wait for message confirmations or for data during message reception before disconnecting.
POP3 tab
Use this tab to configure the POP3 protocol for serving Internet email.
POP3 port
The TCP port to which POP3 clients will connect to retrieve mail.
Normally, you will accept the default 110. Do not change this port number unless advised to do so by your POP3 administrator.
SSL
Enable SSL connections for the POP3 protocol, the certificate name, and port number (default is 995). If you choose Enabled, both secure and nonsecure logins are allowed. If you choose Required, only secure logins are allowed.
For information on creating security certificates, see Creating Internet security certificates in the Internet Services Administrator's Guide in online help.
Timeouts
Set these options:
• time to wait between commands from a POP3 client after the user logs in before disconnecting the client.
• time to wait for an authorization request after the client connects to the server before disconnecting the client.
IMAP4 tab
Use this tab to configure the IMAP protocol for serving Internet email.
IMAP4 port
The TCP port to which IMAP4 clients will connect to retrieve mail. Normally, you will accept the default 143. Do not change this port number unless advised to by your IMAP4 administrator.
IMAP4 timeout
The time in minutes to wait between commands from the IMAP4 client after the user logs in.
SSL
Enable SSL connections for the IMAP4 protocol, the certificate name, and port number (default is 993). If you choose Enabled, both secure and nonsecure logins are allowed. If you choose Required, only secure logins are allowed.
For information on creating security certificates, see Creating Internet security certificates in the Internet Services Administrator's Guide in online help.
Routing tab
Use this tab to specify how outgoing email will be routed (sent to its addressed site).
Route through one SMTP server
Routes all outgoing mail to the server specified at "IP address". Any further routing must be performed on this server.
Select this in cases such as a dialup intermittent Internet connection. You do not need to select this if Internet Services delivers email directly, only if email is routed to another server before being sent to the Internet.
IP address
The IP address of the server you want all mail routed to. This is only applicable if you selected "Route through one server".
Limits tab
Use this tab to specify limits on inbound mail.
Max inbound sessions

Scan Engine IP list

Note
Symantec AntiVirus software can only be installed on Linux and Windows® 2000 or later operating systems.
Warning text when a virus is detected in inbound/outbound messages (optional)
These are default messages users receive when the Scan Engine detects a virus in an attachment on either an inbound or an outbound message. You can change these messages to suit your needs.
The string "^2" is the name of the virus detected and the string "^1" is the attachment name containing the virus. These strings are automatically replaced by the AntiVirus Scan Engine.
