Can't get Exchange 2003 to send through Wingate 6.01

Postby Genocide78 » Sep 08 04 8:41 am

The mail doesn't even show up in the Mail Qiue in Wingate.
Have after much troubble gotten the pop collector to work after shutting down the Firewall (there is just a dial up connection so I don't need firewall anyway) but after that no mail is delivered out, and that worked before I got the pop collector to work so I'm now wondering what happened. Would like some pretty basic instructions on how to make Excange and the SMTP service on Wingate talk to one another.

Henrik,

Could you describe your configuration for us.

Thanks!

Configuration in Exchange is SMTP Server on port 8025 (so it doesn't collide with the SMTP sever in Wingate) Don't use POP3 in Exchange since I use POP3 collector in Wingate.

And then in Wingate the SMTP server is set to port 25.
SMTP Proxy (I think)
Is set to allow incoming mail to port 8025

But I haven't found any place in Wingate to set it up to listen to traffic from 8025. So the mail I send from the clients go to the SMTP server in Exchange but then there is nothing that pick them up fro there.

All clients are configured to use Exchange as standard mail deliver and recive and also has one POP3 account (don't know if I need them) that uses wingate as both incoming and outgoing mail server (I know I don't need the outgoing)

Hi

OK, so you have them both on the same machine.

If you have Exchange on port 8025, you don't want an SMTP proxy in WinGate on port 8025 as well, in fact you probably don't want an SMTP proxy at all (just the WinGate SMTP server).

I presume you want to have Exchange handle the local mail so that users get shared address books etc etc? If so, you probably need to use Exchange's POP3 server as well, and disable WinGate's POP3 server.

Then you need to configure Exchange to send all mail to a gateway host, being WinGate on port 25. Then outbound mail etc should show up in WinGate's mail queue.

Then you need to tell WinGate what domains are local, and configure it to forward these to the Exchange server on port 8025. To do this, you would create a domain in WinGate mail, select that the mailboxes for this are hosted on another server, specify the server, and then select a specific server, and override the port number in there.
