Setup Instructions
Run Mailtron Gateway type the name of you gateway in the field and click Add.
Double-click the gateway just created in the list, to bring up the settings for the gateway.
Setup the mail POP Server Settings as you would for your e-mail client. Set the POP host name, your username, password, and whether your POP server uses APOP authentication. (All these settings should be provided by your ISP.)
Click the Schedule... button to set the scheduling for when the POP account will be checked for new mail.
In this example, the POP gateway will check for mail every minute from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, monday through friday. Other times it will check for mail for two minutes, every two hours.
Selecting "Forward After Read" in Synchronization causes the Forward thread to run immediately after the Read thread completes. Otherwise, the Forward thread runs on it's own timer, every minute.
The SMTP host, in the SMTP Server Settings, is the name of your local POP/SMTP mail host, and indicates where the mail for this gateway will be forwarded.
The Cache Options section allows the specification for the gateway to leave messages larger than a specified size on the POP server. When "Cache All" is selected, all messages will be downloaded to the cache folder and forwarded (the normal behavior.) When "Cache All" is not selected then mail messages which are larger than the specified size will not be cached and forwarded, but instead will be left on the server. A log message will be generated every time a message is left on the server. This feature is handy for gateways which are using slow connections and often get tied up with large messages.
In the Domains section add the name of your domain. You should add the names of all domains that are forwarded to this POP e-mail account.
The Search For Domains In Headers section specifies all the header fields in which it will search for the previously defined Domains (the header field names are NOT case sensitive.) Previous versions of Mailtron Gateway only searched the "To:" and "CC:" fields.
If you wish to have the "Received" headers searched if no match is found in any ofhte specified headers, then select the If Not Found Search "Received" Headers checkbox. Using this option has two variations since most emails will contain more than one "Received" header. The first is to search the "Received" headers only until a specified domain is found. The other is to search all the received headers and forward to every address which contains a specified domain. Select the Until Found or Every One radio button as appropriate.
The Forwards section is for setting up additional forwards for e-mail that may not contain one of your domains, as specified in Domains, in any of the header fields, as specified in the Search For Domains In Headers. (Mailing lists are a common source of these.) Look at one of your mailing list e-mail messages and enter some unique text from the desired header field (this text is NOT case-sensitive.) Select the name of the header field from the menu or type its name in the first block. Type the unique text to be searched for in the second block. Then type the username of one or more local users (separated by commas) that you want this message forwarded to.
Note: The <All> <Unknown> Postmaster field is not editable and specifies that e-mail not containing an addressee for one of you domains within any of the header fields and NOT finding a header field which contains text from the other forwards, is forwarded to the postmaster.
Clicking on the Red "X" will activate the gateway and you will see the counters countdown to the time at which either the Read thread (POP read from ISP server) or the Forward thread (SMTP write messages to the local mail server) will run. When they run you will see progress bars indicating the progress of the read or forwarding thread.
Selecting the "Run Now" button will cause the selected gateway's Read thread to run (if "Forward After Read" is selected in the schedule dialog for the selected gateway then the Forward thread will run after the Read thread completes.)
Each day as soon after midnight as possible, the gateway will switch log files. In the preferences you may set the address to whom the log will be forwarded. If Forward Logs is not checked, the log files will remain in the SF Cache directory. If you want the logs forwarded, then once the log has been sent to the desired address, the log file will be deleted.
