Pull/Push POP3/SMTP Mail using Outlook

[killionsystems]

The Windows 2003 Standard server running Wingate has two Ethernet connections.

1. Internal Network 10.40.54.201
2. Internet Network 192.168.1.200

Workstations in the domain are authenticated against a DC server on the 10.40.54.xx network. Web-browsers are configured to point http proxy to 10.40.54.201 (wingate server)

Web-Browser access works nicely on all the workstations, however I cant seem to get outlook to connect to the outside POP3/SMTP server.. example mail.mydomain.com.

I rather have the workstations just push/pull mail similar to how http proxy is working.

HI

how are the outlook clients configured for mail sending and retrieval?

It's pretty common nowadays if you're accessing external mail services, to just use NAT for that. That requires:

* WinGate network driver to be installed in WinGate computer
* clients use WinGate IP as their default gateway
* clients need ability to resolve DNS - in an AD, (since therefore clients use the AD DNS server) this means the AD DNS server needs to have forwarders set to enable lookups out to the internet. Probably if they aren't already set with forwarders, just set forwarding to WinGate, then run the DNS service in WinGate as well.
