using imail smtp from remote site

[jhall251]

Hi - I am pretty novice at this - we have a site across town that has been using our imail server for many years via wingate 3.0 - there was some reason connected with imail why we had to do it that way at the time - no-one still here who knows why. Anyway...the router and server went up and we now have to reconfigure.

What is involved in letting our remote site use imail for smtp? Is Wingate still a good solution? Can we use smtp just over the internet connection without a proxy?

We have imail set up pretty tight, refusing to relay etc. I'm not sure where to start so this is pretty vague....any suggestions appreciated...

how is your remote location connected to you? If its just over the internet then turn on SMTP auth in the SMTP control pannel, and on the client machines (in outlook) check My outgoing server requires authentication. If these machines all have the same subnet/public IP then just allow that IP to relay off of you.
Let us know if you need more help.
