Email through WinRoute's Mail Server
In order to use WinRoute's mail server you must configure your email client software. The WinRoute computer will act as the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server. As a result, you must enter the WinRoute computer name into the proper field in your email software. If you experience problems sending and receiving mail, we recommend entering the IP address instead of the computer name prior to further investigation. Sometimes the problem is with DNS resolution in your local network.
Example:
WinRoute Mail Server is running on a computer with a dynamically assigned public IP address and a private IP address of 192.168.1.1. The computer name is Hamilton (see Network in Control Panel).
You may enter either HAMILTON or 192.168.1.1 into the Incoming (POP3) and Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server fields of your email software.
