Is Wingate suitable to this arrangement ?

[auburnsilhouette]

Hi,

I've been running a Wingate system with Kapersky at home for 2 users for a couple of years now and it's great. I run it on an old Pentium 3 1Ghz machine under Win2K and it's seemless. Save's me running antivirus etc on all my user machines.

Hope I have the appropriate forum ?

Anyway, I've been asked by my part time employer if I can come up with a Mail Server for a company of 10 employees. I act as there computer consulant. Currently all email is handled via our ADSL host company (Teltra in this case), we have no internal Mail Server. The main reason for this is that we work in the Print area and email is the way the industry works as far as sending print jobs via attachments. The crazy thing at the moment is that these files are also shipped around the company via email eg. the sales rep may get the job via email then forward it to the quoting person and then eventually to a production manager. Each email is leaving the building and coming back as they have no intranet email server. This has added up considerably to the point that our 20G per month limit is being tested (aparrently !). An FTP system has been installed on the premises but it confuses our clients ????

Would a configuration of Wingate take care of an internal email systen. Keeping in mind that all the internal addresses will also need to work on the internet. So it would need some sort of checking of multiple external email accounts ?

Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve Roberts.

Hi Steve,

I was going to write a long post on how WinGate can solve your problem, then realised we have a white paper that covers this topic already. So have a read of the following article

(Page 43 - Scenario 3: An ISP hosts mail for the domain).
