Antivirus gateway software and Aurea List Manager
Aurea List Manager does not scan for viruses in incoming messages. Although match phrases and list security keeps most viruses out, you may wish to use gateway antivirus software with Aurea List Manager. If you are
using gateway antivirus software, it accepts email on port 25, scans it, and pass it to Aurea List Manager
on a different port.
Aurea List Manager must be configured to use the port specified by your antivirus software to receive an email. There are two ways of doing so:
Changing the Aurea List Manager SMTP port through the web interface
- When configuring or installing your gateway antivirus software on the machine that is running Aurea List Manager, note the port to which it is using to forward mail.
- In the Aurea List Manager web interface, go to Utilities > Administration > Server > Server Settings > Network Settings > Ports.
- Specify the port on which Aurea List Manager should receive mail from your mail server in Incoming SMTP Port.
- Save the page.
- Restart the Aurea List Manager Server.
- Start Aurea List Manager, and start your gateway antivirus software.Aurea List Manager now accepts mail from the antivirus software on the port you specified.
Changing the Aurea List Manager SMTP port from the command line
- When configuring or installing your gateway antivirus software on the machine that is running Aurea List Manager, note the port to which it is using to forward mail.
- Shut down Aurea List Manager.
- Open a command prompt, and cd to the Aurea List Manager directory
- On the command line, use the smtpport command to specify the port on which Aurea List Manager should receive
mail from your mail server. Example:
