Specifying IP Addresses of the Server Own Users

You should read this section only if your SMTP module is set to receive messages via TCP/IP.

If your SMTP module can accept incoming TCP connections from POP and IMAP mailers, you may want to specify the IP addresses of your users: messages received from the specified IP addresses will be market as "local". If, for example, your CommuniGate Fax module does not allow "non-local users" to send faxes to long-distance numbers, this restriction will not apply to messages submitted from the listed IP addresses. Such messages can be sent to any fax number, as if submitted directly with the CommuniGator client application.

Specifying IP Addresses of the Server Own Users

Open the SMTP Service Settings and click the Our Users button. The dialog box appears and allows you to enter the IP addresses of your POP and IMAP users:

Each line can contain either one address in the form:

12.34.56.78

or a range of addresses in the form:

12.34.50.01-12.34.59.99

Usually, you would put the address range for your entire LAN here. If you have a branch office that should have access to all the CommuniGate features without any restriction, such as your local users do, then you should put the addresses of the branch office LAN (or of the mail server on that LAN) into this list, too.

All messages received from the addresses included into the Our Users list are marked as submitted by "local" users.

All messages received with the SMTP module via AppleTalk are marked as submitted by "local" users.
