Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Hello community

 
We use Pegasus Mail in connection with Mercury in our office.  Therefore Pegasus works in "local" mode with the pmgate.sys file which defines the outgoing queue of Mercury. Now we would like to integrate some other email clients like Thunderbird for our street worriors, when they connected to the company LAN by VPN. They can already access to their local Pegasus mailboxes via the Mercury IMAP server. But for logging purposes we would further configure them to send their outgoing emails also via Mercury and not directly via the ISP SMTP server.

How we have to configure email clients to get access to the Mercury C and the Mercury C Queue respectively? Or is the SMTP Relay Client (Mercury C) only applicable for Pegasus local mode?

regards

Your off-site Thunderbird users will need to connect to MercuryS (the SMTP server module) to send mail, that will then be delivered to local mailboxes by Mercury core and externally by MercuryC. If they connect over VPN they can send directly to port 25 on the server.

It's a bit more complicated if you want them to connect from the Internet to the SMTP server. In that case you most likely need to specify an alternative port for this, usually the submission port, 587.

The Thunderbird clients will of course need to be set up correspondingly.

Hi Rolf,

Thanks for your reply. I thought as much so. But because our VPN users are connected directly to the company LAN - that means a local IP is assigned whilst connected - I will try to use Pegasus Mail also for them installing the pmgate.sys. Then this should maybe work.
