Peplink Balance Series

To enable the feature, select the Enable check box under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check the box

Enable Forwarding? for the WAN connection(s) that needs such forwarding. Enter the ISP’s e-mail

server host name or IP address and TCP port number for each WAN.

The Peplink Balance will intercept SMTP connections, choose a WAN with reference to the Outbound

Policy, and then forward the connection to the forwarded SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled

forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP connections for the WAN will be

simply forwarded to the connection’s original destination.

Note

If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a

custom rule in Outbound Policy (see Section 13.1).

19.3.2 Web Proxy Forwarding

When this feature is enabled, the Peplink Balance will intercept all outgoing connections destined for the

proxy server specified in "Web Proxy Server Interception Settings", choose a WAN connection with

reference of Outbound Policy, and then forward them to the specified web proxy server and port number.

Redirected server settings for each WAN can be set here. If Forwarding is disabled for a WAN, web

proxy connections for the WAN will be simply forwarded to the connection’s original destination.

19.3.3 DNS Forwarding

When DNS Forwarding is enabled, all clients’ outgoing DNS requests will also be intercepted and

forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server.
