wingate server

[roger.savage]

I am running wingate server on my PC, everything functions correctly until I dial up a vpn connection to my office, then I cannot send or receive email. Are there any solutions to this.

Thanks

When you connect to a VPN, the VPN becomes your internet connection, making the vpn server your internet gateway, and your ISP is likely to have IP address restrictions for their mail server.

You will need to set your mail client to use the Wingate POP3 proxy to access your POP3 server and an SMTP Proxy to send mail to your ISP's SMTP server.
However, if your ISP requires you to authenticate the SMTP proxy may not work because it may not pass the correct command needed to authenticate with your ISP's mail server. http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -us;895857

The POP3 proxy should already be set up, you just configure the mail client to use it. On the POP3 account properties, change the username field like this username#pop3serverFQDN, in the server field for incoming mail use the Wingate IP address.
Set up the SMTP proxy to allow outgoing mail via the ISP mail server and use the Wingate IP for the outgoing mail server in the client account setup.

No it is the "pop3username#pop3servername"

Sometimes the user name is "username" sometimes it is "user@domain.com", it just depends on the POP3 server.
