Hello,
Hoping to reopen this conversation but add the caveat of a firewall
"IS" the problem for one of my clients. They are given an internet
connection from their parent company and now the parent company wants
to mess with any subsidiaries that are trying to go it alone. So one
of their tactics is to block the selection of ports in the URL string.
Is there an IIS method that allows going to a basic URL then doing
the redirect to the port 8383 outside the confines and parameters of
a firewall?

The one IIS site, with asp page actually does this:
Gets the url (mail.domain.com)
redirects the user to http://mail.domain.com:port
its very dynamic, allowing for an unlimited number of domains to
redirect with the least hassle.

This is what I did, IIS domain mail.okaloosatax.com, and
redirected to
another url of https://mail.okaloosatax.com:8384

No, no, he just doesn't want his users to type 8383.

We usually just setup a redirect as a virtual directory in IIS.
So you
end up with something like http://www.domain.com/webmail where
webmail
is
virtual folder that points to mailserver.domain.com:8383

BTW, to the original poster: What speaks against running IMail web
server generally on 80?
Is that what most of you do? I always ran it as default. We don't
offer webmail to all clients. Now I have a good customer that
requested web mail, I provided it, now he doesn't want the 8383.
