You have domain (SMTP)

WinRoute's Mail Server is fully SMTP and POP3 compliant. You may have registered your own Internet domain and receive email via SMTP and/or WinRoute may automatically pick up email from the POP3 account of your ISP.

If you have an Internet domain registered to your external (public) IP address WinRoute may receive email by SMTP protocol. In the general tab in the Mail Server dialog box enter the name of the domain you have registered.

Do not forget to map TCP protocol port 25 to the private class IP address of your WinRoute box! Otherwise SMTP protocol will not be allowed to go through WinRoute's NAT!

Based on your Internet connection you may consider the following:

  1. You have a permanent connection
  2. No specific setting is required. Just the domain(s) entered

  3. You have a dial-up or ISDN connection (ETRN command)
  4. In case you are not permanently connected your email is temporarily stored at the ISP. The email is transferred when you are connected. Some ISPs require using the ETRN command to send email. WinRoute mail server supports the ETRN command. You may check on the option in the General tab of the Mail server dialog box.

    Multipledomains

    If you need to, you may set up ETRN time out interval (go to Advanced tab).

    mailhost

ETRN command time out

This entry specifies how much time after establishing a connection; WinRoute's SMTP server should make an enquiry for SMTP mail.
