You will need to set up an SMTP connection that forwards all email to
GFI MailSecurity:
1. Start the Exchange System Manager.
2. Right-click the Connectors Node, click New SMTP Connector
and then specify the connector name.
3. Click Forward all mail through this connector to the following
smart host, type in the IP of the GFI MailSecurity server (the mail
relay/Gateway server) and then click OK.
NOTE: Always enclose the IP address within square brackets [ ]. For
example, [100.130.130.10].
4. Select the SMTP Server that must be associated to this SMTP
Connector. Click the Address Space tab, and then click Add. Click
SMTP and then click OK to accept the changes.
5. Click OK. All emails will now be forwarded to the GFI MailSecurity
machine.
If you have Lotus Notes:
1. Double-click the Address Book in Lotus Notes.
2. Click on Server item to expand its sub-items.
3. Click Domains and then click Add Domains.
4. In the Basics section, click Foreign SMTP Domain from the
Domain Type field and in the Messages Addressed to area, type “*”
in the Internet Domain box.
5. Under the Should be routed to area, specify the IP of the machine
running GFI MailSecurity in the Internet Host box.
6. Save the settings and restart the Lotus Notes server.
If you have an SMTP/POP3 mail server:
1. Start the configuration program of your mail server.
2. Search for the option to relay all outbound email via another mail
server. This option will be called something like Forward all
messages to host. Enter the computer name or IP of the machine
running GFI MailSecurity.
3. Save the new settings and restart your mail server.
Step 6: The MX record of your domain must point to the
mail relay server
NOTE: If your ISP manages the DNS server, ask this provider to
update it for you.
Since the new mail relay server must receive all inbound email first,
you must update the MX record of your domain to point to the IP of the
new mail relay/Gateway server. Otherwise, email will continue to go to
your mail server and by-pass GFI MailSecurity.
