John, I think Doug has done a better job than I will. ASSP is an SMTP proxy. As such it doesn't do any real delivery. Because I have ASSP on the same machine as IMail, ASSP is listing on port 25 and delivering to IMail (SMTP) on port 125 (I've adjusted the SMTP on IMail to listen to that port instead).
Doug is suggesting a two-box solution where IMail relays to a second SMTP server. This second server would have the ASSP proxy. --jimm John T (lists) wrote: > Please explain exactly how ASSP works? > > Declude, MXGaurd and I am sure there are some others work perfectly fine > with the current version. > > If what you said is true, ASSP sounds more like a incoming gateway rather > than a actual product that works with Imail via the 3rd party hand off in > the SMTPD32 service. > > John T > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Imail_Forum- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Traylor >> Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 12:44 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 2006.2 Web Client and SMTP Proxy >> >> >>> We're using IMail (8.2) with ASSP.
